About
Farming Forward is a training game that will be used in African countries. Players will experience what it’s like to be a farming-entrepreneur and what the benefits are of working together with other farmers. The game encourages entrepreneurial skills in the agricultural and food sector and should prevent farmers from falling in the traps of poverty.
