About Me

One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the tools and financing they need to grow their way out of hunger and poverty. Instead of giving handouts, the social enterprise invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income by supplying a complete service bundle of seeds and fertilizer, financing, training, and market education—and delivering those services within walking distance of the 180,000 rural farmers they serve. www.oneacrefund.org
