East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer Foundation

About East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer Foundation

EWS-KT is a non-profit corporate foundation with unique ties to East-West Seed Group. Our mission is to improve the production and business skills of smallholder farmers, with the aim of enhancing their livelihoods and increasing the supply of safe-to-eat vegetables while simultaneously catalyzing the development of innovative agricultural-input markets. We leverage a business-minded approach to sustainable development for farmers in less developed areas: We offer practical field demonstrations on home and market-driven production. We guide farmers to establish demonstration plots to showcase innovative techniques for growing vegetables. We provide field-level training and exposure on best practices for profitable and sustainable farming. We develop locally adapted extension materials and share information through digital media platforms.
