"It's time to fix Food Food security Systems"
OUR GOAL
To contribute to food security systems by
providing scientific information to small-scale farmers that help
in increasing their produce productivity. Creating a bridge between small-scale
farmers and distribution systems that merge financial accessibility with
psychical accessibility.
Why Invest?
Small-scale farmers’ produce 80% of food
consumed in Sub-saharan Africa, (IFAD). While there are policies in place to
help small-scale farmers achieve; a continuous production of nutritious
food, a stable market, mitigate climate
change and boost their income, there is need to relook at policies and adjust
them according to new challenges.
