The individual volume of production of the small farmers is low which averts them from reaping benefit of economics of scale. Small farmers can benefit from the economics of scale only through aggregation. Producer organizations are useful for mobilizing individual farmers’ effort into collective action which will be helpful in improving the socio-economic condition of all the members of the group. Organizing farmers will aid in access to resources, information, specialization in commodities, processing and value addition, large-scale operations, market orientation and better bargaining power.

Eastern Africa Farmers Federation outreach to membersILRI
Presented by Goretti Gachagua, Eastern Africa Farmers Federation, at the FAO-ILRI Regional Training Workshop on Proven Livestock Technologies, ILRI, Addis Ababa, 3-5 December 2018
India became the first country to mandate spend on CSR activities through a statutory provision after the President of India gave assent to the Companies Bill, 2013,.
The Provision of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are effective from financial year 2014-15.
As per Section 135 of the Act, every company with a specified net worth or turnover or net profit are required to mandatorily spend 2 percent of its average net profit towards specified CSR activities.
Though many corporate houses in India have been doing CSR activities voluntarily, the new CSR provisions put formal and greater responsibility on companies to set out clear framework and process to ensure strict compliance.
The Board of Directors of the companies are responsible to ensure that the company spends the mandatory CSR spend on specified CSR activities in accordance with the CSR policy of the company and disclose the CSR policy and CSR activities of the company as specified in the provisions.
Each qualifying company should form a CSR committee which will formulate the CSR policy of the company and effectively monitor the CSR activities of the company.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued draft rules on CSR for public discussion. The said draft CSR rules lay down the framework and guidance on the manner in which every eligible company is expected to undertake CSR initiatives.
Farmer Producer Organizations: Implications for Agricultural ExtensionBRNSS Publication Hub
The Government of India recently announced $34 million for setting up a “Producers Development and Upliftment Corpus (PRODUCE)” under the National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development. Marketing of agricultural produce is a complex process in India. Farmers do not have access to market, they are selling their produce to the intermediaries operate in the market due to this, their profit margin is reduced and their farming business becomes a non-viable one. We can mobilize farmers in groups and build their associations called as farmer producer organization (FPO). FPO is a means to bring together the small and marginal farmers and other small producers to build their own business enterprise that will be managed by professionals. FPO offers small farmers to participate in the market more effectively and helps to enhance agricultural production, productivity, and profitability. This paper examines the current mode of the operation of FPO and effectiveness of the FPO with reference to the small farmers in India. This article studies the potential role of FPOs (POs, and more generally, producer organizations) in the context of the large prevalence of smallholder agriculture in India.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
