The Farmer Field Business School (FFBS) is an innovative & empowering approach developed under CARE’s Pathways to Empowerment program. Designed to be gender-transformative, market-based, & nutrition-sensitive, FFBS engages women in equitable agricultural systems focussing on improving their productivity & protability & empowering them to become successful farmers, business people, leaders, & agents of change. With a proven impact in over 18 countries, CARE is committed to expanding FFBS equitably through digitalization. As part of it's Scaling Network (now called 10x), CARE launched a global challenge for AgTechs whose solutions are commercially available and have the potential to scale. As a winner, Kuza, was given a choice to work with Care country ofces across Tanzania, Ethiopia, Bangladesh.
In 2023, Kuza partnered with CARE Bangladesh to conduct entrepreneurship training & coaching for selected LSPs, local networks of LSPs, farmers, suppliers and buyers of SHOUHARDO III Plus program. Given the experience of working with CARE Bangladesh on the Shouhardo program, Kuza suggested to co-create and pilot the Digitized livestock FFBS modules in Bangladesh. CARE, Shouhardo III program of Bangladesh and Kuza, have collaborated to digitize the FFBS content with support from SUFFBS technical teams, enhancing learner engagement, sustainability, and outreach to vulnerable farmers, including women and youth. This partnership has been instrumental in creating digital tools that ensure broader access to training resources and support the practical application of improved livestock practices to foster long-term livestock productivity and gender equity, driving sustainable agricultural development and community empowerment through a more inclusive and effective learning environment. The digital livestock FFBS is piloted in 6 districts of Shouhardo program in Bangladesh with 10 Local Service Providers facilitating the sessions to 200 Farmers
