Synopsis (short abstract) Entrepreneurship coaches have an essential role to play in helping young agri-entrepreneurs to overcome the many challenges they face. Coaches are the primary advisors for young agri-entrepreneurs, and can also act as an interface between the young entrepreneur and the investment ecosystem. This guide, written for coaches supporting young agri-entrepreneurs, helps promote responsible agricultural enterprises by providing a methodology based on the standards set out in the Committee on World Food Security's Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI). This guide provides quality support and tools to equip coaches with the knowledge and skills required to guide young agri-entrepreneurs towards investments that generate a triple performance in terms of the planet (enviornmental sustainability), people (benefit for communities and consumers) and profit (return on the investment).
