Field visual 03
Community and outgrower engagement
The project will be judged by its effect on livelihoods as much as by acreage and tonnes.
Farmers, local communities, women and youth groups are at the centre of the project. A commercial venture like this has to create real value for the people who live closest to it.
The planned shoot will cover agronomy workshops, local hiring, outgrower field days and community infrastructure, including schools, clinics and the vocational institute, that links work in the fields to wider food-security goals.
Until then, this openly licensed image is a stand-in and is not a photograph of Tarda Rice Project activity.
