Company Description

One Acre Fund is a non-profit social enterprise that provides smallholder farmers in East and Southern Africa with the financing and training they need to increase their yields and profits. Founded in 2006, the organization operates on the principle that many farmers are trapped in a cycle of poverty because they lack access to high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and modern agricultural techniques. Their primary mission is to help these families move from subsistence farming to surplus production, effectively making them more resilient to economic and environmental shocks.
In Uganda, One Acre Fund serves thousands of farmers by delivering a comprehensive “market bundle” directly to their rural villages. This service includes the provision of high-quality agricultural inputs on credit, which farmers repay over the course of the growing season. Beyond just supplying materials, the organization provides localized training on effective planting, soil management, and post-harvest storage. This integrated approach ensures that farmers have both the physical tools and the technical knowledge required to significantly boost their household income and food security.
The management and strategic growth of One Acre Fund focus on data-driven scaling and environmental sustainability. The organization continuously conducts field trials to identify the most effective crop varieties and reforestation strategies, such as the distribution of millions of multi-purpose trees to improve soil health and provide timber. By partnering with the Ugandan government and other global stakeholders, they aim to create a permanent and sustainable infrastructure for rural development. Their ultimate goal is to empower millions of farm families to lead healthier, more prosperous lives through a proven, professionalized model of agricultural support.
