Through business empowerment and transformation of agriculture, rural unemployment, food and water shortage problems in sub-Saharan Africa can be tackled and livelihoods of rural communities can be improved. Our approach involves working with a rural Church to set up a training demo-center which trains local smallholder farmers in business skills and modern agriculture techniques. Smallholder farmers make up the largest percentage of the rural population in sub-Saharan Africa, however, they are not growing and harvesting enough for their own consumption or extra to sell for income generation. Insufficient harvests are attributed to: lack of quality seeds, poor agricultural practices, lack of irrigation, lack of fertilizers, lack of farm equipment, and a general lack of crucial complementary agriculture-related necessities such as processing, storage, and transportation.
