The APEC Workshop on Promoting Women-led MSMEs in Adopting Circular Agriculture aims to promoting capacity building for MSMEs in agriculture to adopt CBM through sharing knowledge, experiences and practices from speakers, experts, and participants from the APEC member economies. From the sharing, they came up with a number of highlights and recommendations that are beneficial to promote circular agriculture such as promoting access to finance green loans and grants to facilitate their adoption of circular economy models; promoting gender-responsive land policies; enhancing circular economy capacity through enhancing carbon management; promoting collaborative partnerships, including but not limited to promoting multi-stakeholders, institutional collaboration, R&D investment, models such as cooperatives alliance; promoting digital platforms for digital skills/traceability/biotech as well as harness women-led MSMEs to take advantages of e-commerce to enhance access to markets, strengthening market linkages for sustainable products; fostering green trade initiatives and common eco-certification within APEC; supporting technology and technical cooperation in APEC (e.g.: APEC green technology sharing platform); empower women entrepreneurs through promoting funding or incubation for tech ventures); promoting capacity building for APEC member economies through providing training/workshop/seminars, etc., to support women entrepreneurs in practicing circular agriculture; and so on.
