05/03/23 MKSP Review Presentation 32

Conclusion

• “If the latent potential of poor, marginal and small women farmers is harnessed in institutions, to build their organizational and operational capacities, then they will transform and re-define sustainable agriculture and allied sectors as the backbone of rural economy and household food security, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

• It is for us to visibly acknowledge and recognize them in their journey of empowerment as a key driver themselves.”
