Farmer Eco Enterprise Development (FEED Africa)

Commercialises emerging eco-farmers and help them adapt to climate change.
2013 SEED South Africa Award Lauréat-e Sustainable Agriculture Johannesburg, South Africa

FEED Africa’s business model is to commercialise emerging eco-farmers who lack the resources and expertise to participate in the mainstream green economy and to help them adapt to climate change. The five pillars of the model are: selection of land & people, training, mentorship, operational support, and sales & marketing. Individual farms are often too small to achieve the volumes required by markets. FEED therefore creates a platform where groups of local farmers can share resources, training and access to markets.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts

FEED creates a platform where groups of local farmers who lack the resources and expertise to participate in the mainstream green economy can share resources, training, access to markets and adapt to climate change.
  • Ensuring a broader social impact, as participants in the enterprise share the knowledge gained within their communities.
  • Improving health and livelihoods in the communities surrounding the farms. These communities consist of 1,500 – 3,000 households.
  • Replacing conventional chemicals on the farms with about 1,000 tons of organic chemicals and 5,000 tons of organic compost.
  • Using natural resources sustainably – less water is used and healthier soils result.
  • Minimising waste by recycling it in earthworm farms.
  • Developing emerging farmers and ensuring they have sufficient scale to compete on markets.
  • Training and educating on all aspects of farming and marketing to ensure improved income for farmers and more jobs for community members.
