Seeding Strength: Empowering Farmer Cooperatives – Regional Campaign Launch.



Regional Campaign Launch.


Join us for the official launch of ‘Seeding Strength: Empowering Farmer Cooperatives’, a regional campaign by Heifer International in partnership with the International Cooperative Alliance Asia-Pacific (ICA-AP), commemorating the 2025 Year of Cooperatives in Asia.
This inspiring virtual event will spotlight the vital role of farmer-owned cooperatives in transforming rural economies, building climate resilience, and strengthening food systems across Asia. These cooperatives are not just economic actors—they are engines of social equity, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment, especially for women smallholder farmers.
Through powerful keynotes, engaging panel discussion, and voices from the field, the event will explore how Heifer and ICA- AP are supporting cooperatives with training, co-investment, and strategic partnerships—seeding strength one cooperative at a time.
Theme: Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Solutions for a Better World.
Let’s come together to celebrate, support, and strengthen the backbone of rural transformation in Asia—our farmer cooperatives.
