01
Farmer First
Farmer and household skills built through local trainers, hands-on practice and repeat visits.
- Developing village champions and trainers
- One-to-one coaching on farms and at home
- Farmers' plots as shared learning sites
Hasbi programmes
One household, many ways in.
Farming, processing, food, money and the environment affect one another. We choose the combination of areas that is most useful to each community.
Six areas of work
02
Agroforestry & Family Food
Land restoration, food gardens and income designed together with Satisfarm.
- Diverse farm designs matched to soil, water and family needs
- Demonstration and core farms
- Care for vegetation, soil and habitat
03
Water & Climate Resilience
Residents manage water, prepare for dry seasons and look after shared resources.
- Soil conservation, rainwater harvesting and spring protection
- Community water and solar pumping where feasible
- Operators, user fees and usage rules
04
Quality & Organic Readiness
Farmers and processors improve production practice, product quality and the records buyers ask for.
- Post-harvest handling, hygiene and loss reduction
- Organic practice and internal control systems
- Traceability and quality feedback from buyers
05
Household Finance & Inclusion
Families make better-informed business and money decisions, with women part of those decisions.
- Business records, cash flow and household plans
- Accessible materials in participants' own language
- Roles, workload and benefits discussed openly
06
Data, Learning & Market Access
Field data is used to improve programmes and connect communities with the right buyers.
- Baseline, mapping, monitoring and evaluation
- Practical learning materials and knowledge records
- Dialogue on quality, volume and trading terms
Three delivery models
Used on their own or combined in one programme.
Local champions & trainers
Villagers become coaches through practice, teaching simulations and mentoring. They remain community members, not company employees.
Household coaching
One-to-one visits to agree priorities, practise actions and check they are applied. Consistent farmers' plots become examples for neighbours.
Demonstration & core farms
With Satisfarm, suitable land becomes a place for demonstrations, nurseries, agroforestry and shared learning, managed under terms agreed with owners and users.
Coconut Doctors and Sugar Masters
In coconut programmes, village champions take one or both roles. Problems that cannot be solved in the village are referred to Hasbi specialists.
Coconut Doctor
Tree health, cultivation, soil and water, and climate resilience.
Sugar Master
Sap collection and handling, hygiene, cooking efficiency and sugar quality.
Working design: one champion supports up to 70 households, aiming for one visit per household each month.
From training to the next round of learning
Each round builds on records from the previous visit. Steps that prove too hard are simplified; technical issues go to specialists.

Change is judged by practice
Every programme agrees a starting point, targets and the evidence to be checked.
1
Capability
Can participants demonstrate the skill and explain why?
2
Practice
Is the practice actually used on the farm, at home or at the processing site?
3
Benefit
What changed in quality, costs, food, workload and natural resources?
