⚡The Catalyst Corner
In Partnership With Swasti, The Health Catalyst
Smallholder farmers often lack integrated services, have limited access to diversified income opportunities, and operate without the institutional support needed to reduce risks. 3Fold addresses these gaps by creating a sustainable ecosystem at the cluster level that provides integrated solutions, diversified livelihood options and strong market and institutional linkages.
How Vrutti Impact Catalysts Covers 42,500 Farming Families?
3Fold starts with each farmer developing a personal growth plan and a business plan for farm, allied and non-farm enterprises. Based on this plan, farmers receive advisory support, mentoring, capacity building and access to the integrated 6C Services.
