Potential
-
80 percent of all farms in Africa are smallholder-owned.
-
More than two-thirds of Africans depend directly on agriculture for their incomes
-
Small holder farmers produce up to 80% of the food consumed and support up to two billion people (IFAD 2010).
-
With the right tools and knowledge, small holder farmers could increase their harvests by up to 30 percent, enough to feed 150 million more people globally.
Challenge
-
Three quarters of the world’s poorest people are hungry farmers who are unable to grow enough food to feed their families for the entire year
-
They struggle to gain access to critical resources which include: finance, quality inputs and modern Agronomic practices
-
In rural sub Saharan Africa, there are more than 50million small holder families
Solution
-
A complete solution that provide inputs, training, finance and rural distribution to last mile farmers.
-
build the capacity of small-scale farmers to increase production, and safely store and market their crops
-
By 2050, the world will need to increase agricultural production by at least 60 percent to feed a projected 9 billion people in the world.
