FARMING FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY

          In my community, most people own small pieces of land ranging from a maximum of 5 acres to 50 by 100 plots. They are mostly small scall farmers though with very little levels of production.

          The one acre fund is an organization that reaches out to those farmers in communities who wish to expand or start cash crop farming but lack the capital to initiate their projects.

           The organization reached out to the people of any community and provided them with capital in form of seeds farm tools like Jembes, pangas, spades scoopes and feterlizer to the farmers at subsidized prices and at a loan which they repay in instalments.

            The organization also equipped them with skills and farming education on the best season and best way to carry out the farming as to attain both best quality and quantity produce.

             The farmers now get very good produce which they use for food and sell to get income which they use to improve their living standards and that of their communities.
