Healthcare access: a tool to reduce the income gap
A Living Income reflects the needs of a household, in a particular place, to afford a decent standard of living. A decent standard of living includes food, water, housing, education, healthcare, transport, clothing, savings and funds for unexpected events. But what happens when one of these essential needs is not available or comes at a particularly high cost? For many smallholder farmers, lack of access to affordable healthcare is a persistent problem. In this webinar, the Living Income Community of Practice welcomed healthcare organization Elucid, and speciality cocoa company Max Felchlin AG to explore how healthcare protection for smallholders can help reach livelihood and living income goals.
