    About One Acre Fund

    Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive.

On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions. To learn more, please see our Why Work Here blog post.
