The Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA) is a multi-stakeholder partnership platform that aims to engage smallholder farmers and market players towards social-economic growth and competitive advantage. The PPSA was catalyzed by Grow Asia to bring together different sectors and actors to co-develop and scale initiatives to address key issues in agriculture. In 2017, Grow Asia Collaborated with the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), a business-led social development organization committed to poverty reduction to establish the PPSA Secretariat.
