The past month has been power-packed with insights and connections, and I’m thrilled to share one key takeaway from the Sun Valley Forum! 🌟

Among the many incredible resources I discovered, one that stood out is the Community Infrastructure Center (CIC) platform, introduced by Sarah Ortner. This initiative by the Milken Institute is designed to be a hub for resources and funding opportunities, but what excites me the most is its potential to foster collaborative partnerships between teams with shared goals. 🤝

Imagine the impact we can create by connecting with others who are pursuing similar objectives, leveraging this platform to achieve more together. Yesterday, I created my profile as a Provider on the CIC platform, and I’m eager to see the collaborative projects that will emerge. 🚀

Check out the CIC platform for yourself, create a profile for your organization, and let’s explore how we can get more done together! 💼🔗

We've been exploring how smallholder farmers can enhance their strawberry production through innovative practices and found some interesting examples. For instance, projects like TechnoServe’s (https://www.technoserve.org/our-work/projects/empowering-smallholder-strawberry-farmers/) Madre Tierra initiative, in partnership with Danone, Grupo Altex, Fundación Walmart, and others, empower smallholder strawberry farmers by providing the necessary resources and training to improve their yields and quality.

While we still have questions, this project has certainly piqued our curiosity. Imagine if such initiatives were established nationwide, making delicious, high-quality strawberries the norm. 🌍🍓

At Refonte Ventures, we often hear from agricultural producers that they lack access to grant funding for agriculture. However, examples like this show it's possible! Fill out our market survey by July 3rd for a chance to WIN some delicious foods from leading brands while helping us understand your needs and broaden our education around how to access funds like these! 🍓✨
