Nsamba says, “The ERI model is an entrepreneurial approach that strengthens farmers and their organisations or groups to embrace farming as a business and also taking into consideration, market opportunities, food security and natural resources.”
“It opens up the mindset of the person embracing the approach and it is called the participatory diagnosis. The main objective is to analyse the current situation of a farmer or agriprenuer and then set a vision where they want to be. Its a mindset changing process that breaks the old practices of carrying out farming as a way of life and doing it as a business,” he adds.
