Our impact on Farmers’ lives
By 2030, we aim to serve 10 million farmers—fully 10 percent of the families in the world living on less than $1 per person, per day. In 2024, we served over over 5 million farmers, both directly with a bundle of farm services and indirectly by improving access to farm services in entire regions, typically through partner organizations.

In focus
Female farmers like Alphonsine are essential to Africa's food production, yet they often lack the same access to resources as their male counterparts. If women had equal access to these resources, they could increase their farm harvest by 20–30 percent.
