One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities.

More than 50 million families in Sub-Saharan Africa earn a living from small farms, which produce 80 percent of the continent’s food. But harvests still lag far behind the rest of the world. We supply the financing and training these farmers need to grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.

Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to help them increase their yields and their profits. When farmers become more productive, they help feed healthy communities and create thriving economies. They also reduce environmental pressure by doing more with less land.

We envision a future in which every farm family has the knowledge and means to achieve big harvests, support healthy families, and cultivate rich soil.

Extreme poverty is concentrated in one profession: farming. Most people living on $1 a day are farmers.

If all of the 50 million farm families in Sub-Saharan Africa could grow more on their current plots of land, they would be a powerful force against poverty and food insecurity in their communities.

Farming is truly the engine of Africa's development. When farmers have the opportunity to make their farming more productive, they build pathways to prosperity for millions of families.

Make Your Work Matter
At One Acre Fund, we measure success in our ability to make smallholder farmers more prosperous. We only serve farmers and we put Farmers First in everything we do. Every spreadsheet, every phone call, and every meeting is focused on producing better harvests and building brighter futures for some of the hardest working people on the planet.

We are passionate about learning from our customers, and we all regularly spend time in the field and get our boots muddy. We proudly build our headquarters in rural areas and humbly listen to farmers’ input. By staying close to the heart of the work, we can respond to customer needs, innovate quickly, and see the impact of our work first-hand.
