Sustainable agroecology in Africa
Agroecology

Our process involves working with farmers to understand the needs of their land, to grow crops sustainably and achieve better harvests. This methodology is based on our Agroecological Climate Positive Approach (ACPA), and focuses on natural processes and harvest optimization without the use of chemical fertilisers.

Hygiene on farms in Africa
Our farm systems approach

We ensure that farmers can apply the knowledge and techniques we share with them in the long-term, by adapting our training to their existing resources. Our participants may not own land or have “a farm”: we start with what a family has – their labour, their skills, any space to grow some vegetables – and build from there.

Livestock management

Livestock is essential for new sources of protein, soil health and additional income. We support farmers with livestock management including building enclosures and shelters, managing animal health, optimizing feed, controlling disease, and more.

Peer farmers training in Africa
Peer farmer training

We extend the impact of our projects by encouraging our participants to become peer farmer trainers. Farmers who have shown aptitude for learning new principles and techniques for sustainable farming are nominated to become peer farmer trainers. They can then pass on their knowledge to new groups and communities, reaching more families and playing a pivotal role in our ripple effect.

“Every week I am inspired by the thirst for knowledge amongst the farmers we work with. Once we show them that change IS possible they are eager to learn new ways of working, and to share their experience with others .”
