In order to ensure food security, a modern, efficient and sustainable agriculture that drives innovation is needed. In this regard, it is understood that large increases in agricultural investment are needed both to raise incomes and increase the supply of food in a sustainable manner. However, there is often a lack of substantial access for farmers to agricultural credit and secure loans to invest in relevant technological innovations, which have the potential to raising economic profits and the same time optimizing resource efficiency while contributing to a sustainable and efficient growth of the agricultural sector providing high quality food.
