Our GrowVentures team is back in the field this week, bridging the gap between innovators, farmers, and investors in the Philippines.
Our latest round of Human-Centered Design (HCD) Training kicked off at Auspere Nature Farm, a certified Learning Site for Agriculture. Our hand-picked cohort of innovators explored the daily realities of smallholder farming as they mapped the journey from cacao tree to table.
This immersive farm visit laid the foundation for the days ahead, where innovators and investors (often based in cities) can use these learnings to enhance their designs for farmer-led, climate-smart solutions that scale.
๐ก Stay tuned as we share more updates from the fieldโand watch this space as we prepare to announce the winners of this yearโs Grow Asia !
๐ฑ Led by Grow Asia and supported by International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Koreaโs Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA), Thai Wah Public Company Limited, Visa, Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA), and The Sustainable Smallholder, these HCD workshops are a key feature of Grow Asia's regional programs delivering scalable, systems-level impact across Southeast Asiaโs agri-food sector.
