Valence Ndola is a hardworking farmer. He had a fantastic harvest last year,getting 25 bags of maize per acre.

With his profits he has invested in swine farming. Next year he hopes to acquire a dairy cow.

Our vision for the future

Direct service

Build the largest network of smallholding farmers in Africa

Directly serve 1.5+ million families per year (5+ million children)

7,000 field staff spread evenly over rural areas

In 8 countries

Partner withgovernments

We will represent a significant constituency For example, 20% of Rwanda’s entire population

We will use this as a platform to work together with African governments

Food security

Our farmers will be feeding their own families (5+ million children)

Our families’ surplus will also fill the grain deficit of an additional 25 million individuals

• Most of the world’s poor are farmers. We know how to double their productivity. Our job now is to share this as fast as humanly possible!

Vision 2020

Conclusion

This is an enormous humanitarian opportunity

We must build for scale

Build a leadership team that lives in the field

Standardize our model, and replicate

systematically

We will serve 1.5 million farm families by 2020
