Challenge
“75% of the world’s undernourished and absolute poor live in rural areas, where most of them are involved in agriculture. Investing in small scale farmers will directly address the world’s hunger problem.” – Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. In the Mpumalanga Oliphants River Valley women have access to land and water but are crippled by the lack of resources and expertise to farm on the land. Unemployment is very high in this area.
