AEGF serves as a fundamental source of guidance and assistance for Smallholder Farmers. EIP further enriches this by providing technological access within the established AEGF support network. Championed by Syngenta Foundation India and Tata Trusts, AEGF follows a decentralized strategy to empower rural youth, nurturing them into Agri-Entrepreneurs (AEs) within rural landscapes.

FarmServ ensures that the farmers get the best deal all through the crop cycle. They partner with local value chain partners to make last mile delivery of these solutions, thus achieving aggregation at local markets for bringing economies of scale. Once the technology effectively completes the EIP process, Farmserv will take charge of distributing the technology/product and ensuring proper implementation among farmers and Agri-Entrepreneurs (AEs).
