Q 2. What and how can CSOs contribute to such transformation to boost impact on the ground?
CSOs can play role as last mile connectivity of agri-food transformation through creating awareness at ground level. For ex. CSOs can create local clusters who could be facilitated by CSOs for demonstration of efficient and sustainable solutions for agrifood transformation viz. integrated farming systems and crop diversifications suiting to local conditions which will also provide resilience.
Inclusiveness of local people through CSOs in public dialogues, making action plans for implementation and helping them connect the govt and policy makers will not only facilitate smooth implementation of transformation towards achieving developmental goals but also create perceptible impact at the ground level.
