Enterprising the rural: creating a social value chain.

Anderson, Alistair R.; Lent, Monica D.

Abstract

This paper explores how a social enterprise in Kenya, Farmstore, addresses problems associated with rural poverty. It also aims to demonstrate how organising different stakeholder's interests and abilities enables entrepreneurship, allowing poor farmers access to technical advances to alleviate poverty.
