Goal

To support smallholder farmers in improving their livelihoods, increasing agricultural productivity, and achieving sustainable development.

Inputs

Inputs Provision

We provide smallholder farmers with high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and other necessary agricultural inputs.

Training and Capacity Building

We offer training programs on sustainable farming practices, modern agricultural techniques, information dissemination, and efficient resource management.

Climate Smart Agriculture

We promote climate smart agriculture through our solar-powered irrigation system, enabling farmers to build resilience and mitigate climate change effects.

Grain Quality Improvement

We enhance the quality of grains produced to improve market value, income, food safety, and nutrition.

Market Access

We facilitate access to profitable markets by establishing partnerships with buyers, cooperatives, and other market actors, as well as grains offtake from farmers.

Activities

Farmer Identification and Selection

We identify farmers in need of support through community and clan leaders.

Input Distribution

We distribute necessary inputs to selected farmers, ensuring they receive the right quantity and quality.

Training and Skill Development

We conduct training sessions on best practices in crop cultivation, pest and disease management, and soil and water conservation.

Market Linkages

We procure and offtake grains, connect farmers to buyers, and support the formation of farmer cooperatives.

Outcomes

Increased Agricultural Productivity

Farmers adopt improved techniques, leading to increased crop yields and enhanced productivity.

Improved Livelihoods

Increased productivity leads to improved incomes and livelihoods for farmers and their families.

Sustainable Resource Management

Farmers practice sustainable farming methods, leading to conservation of natural resources and enhanced resilience to climate change.

Poverty Alleviation

By connecting farmers to profitable markets and off-taking their grains, we achieve poverty reduction and economic growth.

All-Year Round Farming

Our solar-powered irrigation system gives farmers reliable water access, enabling year-round farming and increased productivity.

Improved Market Value

Better grain quality leads to reduced post-harvest losses, preserved nutrition, and increased income and food security.

Gender Equality

We promote gender equality by ensuring equal access to inputs, training, and market opportunities for both male and female farmers.

Impact
