One Acre Fundとは

意味・読み方・使い方

One Acre Fund is an organization that aims to help poor East African farmers emerge from persistent poverty and hunger by increasing their farm-based incomes. They do this by introducing more profitable crops and farming techniques to farmers and by providing farming inputs in exchange for a share of future revenues. Unlike most interventions designed to improve farming incomes in poor settings, One Acre Fund facilitates activities and transactions at each level of the farming value chain, from organizing farmer groups to negotiating with export markets. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Illinois with operations in Kenya and Rwanda.
