Our objectives

Our vision is for a prosperous rural Africa. Our mission is to reduce poverty by enabling marginal African farmers, herders and forest dwellers to make sustainable improvements to their wellbeing by effectively managing renewable natural resources.

The lives of hundreds of thousands of farmers and herders have been transformed through FARM-Africa’s work over the past twenty years . . . we have gained a wealth of experience and expertise which we have channelled into models of good practice.

Communities which depend on farming for their livelihood face many challenges including climate variations and increasing pressure on limited resources. Our strategy is to improve people’s long term opportunities to manage natural resources effectively, increase their household income, nutrition and access to food and animal healthcare at the same time as protecting their local environment.

AS part of our project work in these areas we are able to test and develop models of good practice that can be replicated by FARM-Africa and other organisations to scale up the impact we can have on poverty and reach more people. Through our core teams of agricultural and forestry experts we offer training and technical advice and we work to influence policy on natural resources management.
