Farmers stand at the center of the world, says Andrew Youn, cofounder of One Acre Fund, an agricultural organization that's empowering sub-Saharan farm families with the loans, seeds, fertilizer and training needed to increase crop yields and end hunger. Meet Therese Niyonsaba, a Rwandan farmer who shares how the program helped her family prosper, and learn more about One Acre Fund's goal to lead a farmer-focused green revolution and reach 6.8 million families by 2026. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

Is this GMO seeds
I thought so, but the guy says natural seeds grown in the country, tho it’s hard to believe what ppl/companies say these days
@luvyou baby I’m with u it’s GMO

Rwanda’s the most beautiful country I’ve ever been
Early crew!
Perhaps stopping IMF and World Bank to ‘help’ them would be better.
Instead of sending money to these corrupt countries teach them how to farm.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
teach a man to fish and he teaches other men to fish for him.
In my humble opinion: intentions are good, but this is the wrong approach to farming, is well documented. This type of farming is the reason why we have tremendous carbon emmisions, the health of the soil will suffer. This type of farming is not sustainable for future generations. “Professional seed” and the word “Natural” is used by commercial seed & fertilizer companies to sell their products, but it’s a lie. Having said that, it makes me happy to know that more kids in that community are going to bed with a full stomach.
Love!!
Gratitude and thank you for sharing light <3
