AGRICULTURE
Food security is crucial for communities and families around the world. When we help farmers increase the food security of their communities and families, we can play a part in transforming the lives of countless people by lifting them out of dependency.
Our Agriculture program was piloted in Akatsi and Anfoega in Ghana, where farmers didn’t have access to best management practices. After being trained in agronomy, farmers in the program now grow their own crops and help sustain our children’s feeding efforts in Akatsi, Ghana.
Assessment
We use the best tools available to assess the local culture, context of living environments, and the economic situation to understand the real food security needs in the local community.
Education
We educate farmers through curriculum, workshops, and local agronomist and technicians. We strive to take the best science to the farmers. As we make agronomy education available, we also increase the information flow to as many in the community as possible.
Implementation
This program strives to assist farmers in implementing the best agronomic practices in both pilot and large-scale projects.
