    Greater and better-quality investment is needed in food security, nutrition, agriculture and rural development if we are to improve food security, nutrition and rural livelihoods, boost incomes and safeguard the natural environment. Agrinvest builds on FAO’s expertise in formulating, implementing, supervising and evaluating agricultural investment plans, as well as its advisory role on policy and legislation. The initiative will facilitate public-private policy dialogue and undertake sector analyses and value-chain studies, including for sustainable mechanization and agriculture innovations to bolster the kind of investment decision-making that will attract sustainable private investment to agri-food systems, in accordance with the SDGs and relevant investment guidelines.

    Investing in farmers through public-private-producer partnerships Rural Empowerment and Agricultural Development Scaling-up Initiative in Indonesia. Investing in farmers – or agriculture human capital – is crucial to addressing challenges in our agri-food systems. A global study carried out by the FAO Investment Centre and the International Food Policy Research Institute, with support from the CGIAR Research Programme on Policies, Institutions and Markets and the FAO Research and Extension Unit, looks at agriculture human capital investments, from trends to promising initiatives. One of the nine featured case studies is the Rural Empowerment and Agricultural Development Scaling-up Initiative in Indonesia. This programme adds perspectives on investing in human capital in agriculture through public-private-producer partnerships, using lead farmers, cocoa doctors and farmer field schools. The case study shows that the training and coaching provided increased knowledge of and practical skills in cocoa farming, including technical skills, soft skills and empowerment, leading to better productivity and cocoa quality. The programme increased farmers’ confidence to take on new activities and sell a quality product. In addition, farmers developed group cooperation and decision-making skills, and group members learned communication, entrepreneurship and marketing skills. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme.
