The consortium works closely with a wider stakeholder community that includes rural producers and farmers, rural youth and young entrepreneurs, educational institutions, advisory services, SMEs, NGOs, urban consumers, and public authorities. Their participation ensures that project activities are context‑specific, demand‑driven, and oriented toward long‑term sustainability.
