In February, in a remote village of Nepal, men and women from a local cooperative gathered to learn about a digital app designed to enhance farming and agricultural activities. The audience represented a snapshot of the rural community, including farmers, politicians, and young people.
They had gathered at the invitation of GLOW’s Participatory action research project, Co-producing a shock-resilient business ecosystem for women-led enterprises in Nepal (CREW), to shed light on how communities, policymakers and digital innovators can best use digi-tech to enhance agriculture.
