One Acre Fund is a nonprofit organization started in January 2006 with the goal of completely rethinking how to solve the chronic hunger problem in Africa. They have put together an investment package for small-scale farmers and their families, which doubles farm income by providing seeds and fertilizer, weekly farm education, and market access.
One Acre Fund creates farmer-focused solutions. Their core service package for farmers include: group formation, education, seed and fertilizer delivery, flexible payments (credit or sales), and market access. Farmers pay for these services and are not given handouts. Their vision is to see a future where every farm family has the knowledge, materials, and support necessary to satisfy their basic needs, become one of the world's most impactful organizations and to serve millions of farmers.
