Sharee has been awarded the global multi-donor Agroecology Fund grant in 2025 to co-implement a project catalyzing the agroecology transition through climate-smart, regenerative practices and digital solutions in Laos. Leveraging technology for knowledge, market, and finance access, Sharee is developing a mobile application for rural men and women in the agricultural sector. It will disseminate agroecological information, connect farmers directly to agroecology markets, and provide information on financial resources. The desired outcome is improved access to vital knowledge, fair market opportunities, and potential financing, empowering farmers to make informed decisions and build resilient livelihoods.
