A project by Liechtenstein Development Service (LED)
Smallholder SustaiNability Upscaling Programme (SSNUP)
The agricultural sector in developing countries suffers from chronic underinvestment, which stifles its growth potential and leaves smallholder farmers ill-equipped e.g. to face climate change, thereby hindering their productivity and preventing long-term food security.
The programme cofinances technical assistance for agricultural value chain actors, thereby encouraging impact investors to invest in agricultural value chain actors that they might otherwise consider too risky, while simultaneously increasing services available to smallholder farmers, and achieving social and environmental impact goals.
Project goals
Smallholder households use new/improved financial services, capacity building services and market-access solutions in a way that improves their agricultural practices, productivity, capacity to absorb shocks, income levels and food and nutrition security
Agricultural value chain actors sustainably grow through sales or portfolio growth, job creation, attraction of additional investments and adoption of practices contributing to the sustainability of agrifood systems
Impact investors increase investments in untapped and underserved agricultural markets in a way that continues to serve smallholders in evolving market and production environments
Agrifood system entities beyond SSNUP engage with sustainable food production, processing, distribution and nutritious consumption practices
