An Introduction to East African Smallholder Agriculture
One Acre Fund’s top priority is long-term soil health and productivity. As part of this effort, we have developed extensive in-house soil testing capabilities and undertaken longitudinal studies of measuring the soil health of thousands of Kenyan and Rwandan farmers. This report compiles the agricultural research data that has helped us ensure that our program ‘does no harm’ to client soils, and underpins our design of agronomic and behavior-change trials to rigorously explore specific soil health interventions.
