One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider established in 2006 by Andrew Youn, Eric Pohlman, and John Gachunga. The organisation supports smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa by supplying quality seeds, agricultural inputs, and training to help them increase yields and income. It operates in nine countries across the region, which produce 80% of the continent’s food, serving families who rely on small, rain-fed farms in rural areas. The company describes its approach as investing in farmers rather than providing handouts, aiming to help them grow more food and build resilient communities. In 2025, the organisation reported serving 5.9 million farming households across 10 countries. It also offers financing and practical farming skills to help farmers improve their livelihoods and achieve food security.
