dc.description.abstractThis brief provides background to scaling up the “Farm Shop” project. Farm Shop’s team of business and agricultural specialists, along with researchers from Kenya and Canada, will test ways to increase the scale of Farm Shop’s operation. A growing number of informal agro-dealers across Kenya are adopting the Farm Shop franchise model which can boost retail revenues by 500%. The market-driven approach provides smallholders, including women farmers, with access to high quality products (e.g. seeds and fertilizer), services (e.g. soil testing, animal health care), educational opportunities, and trusted advice, to improve livelihoods, productivity, and food security.en
