An equity-free accelerator to scale the impact of ventures in climate-resilient agriculture and agroecology
About the Khmer Agriculture for the Future Accelerator
The Khmer Agriculture for the Future (KAF) Accelerator is an equity-free program designed to scale ventures in climate-resilient agriculture and agroecology across four provinces in Cambodia: Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, and Preah Vihear. The eight agri-businesses and Agricultural Cooperatives that we support provide products and services to strengthen the climate resilience of smallholder farmers or are working to improve market access for farmers using climate-resilient agriculture practices.
When they conclude the program in early 2025, each venture will have a comprehensive business diagnostic, tangible new communications products and visibility, improved impact measurement frameworks aligned with the SDGs, and roadmaps for scaling up their reach.
What we offer
Structured Support & Learning
Through expert sessions, peer coaching circles, and field visits, we strengthen ventures’ capacity in climate-resilient agriculture topics and around five key pillars of scaling: leadership and team, impact measurement, access to finance, expanding reach, and strategic partnerships.
Access to Networks
Within the cohort, we foster a community of fellow entrepreneurs to collaborate and build strategic connections with. We also facilitate introductions to local farmers' communities and to key ecosystem actors.
Individual Mentorship
Each venture in the program is at a unique point in their growth, with unique needs and opportunity. That’s why we place a heavy emphasis on individualized mentoring. We match each venture with an agri-business mentor as well as with an expert in climate-resilient agriculture.
Financial Support
Each venture receives $7,000 in equity-free funding to help scale their business and support the implementation of their climate-resilient agriculture products/services.
