About One Acre Fund
Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers in nine countries with the agricultural services they need to make their farms more productive. We provide quality farm supplies, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural training to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 per cent more food after working with One Acre Fund.
