A letter from Andrew Youn, One Acre Fund's Co-Founder and Executive Director of One Acre Fund
In 2020, we served more than 1.3 million farmers in six countries, registering a 33% growth despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We ensured that farmers could continue farming by advocating to have agriculture designated as an “essential business.”

While welcoming our newest team members, we asked them a few questions about their backgrounds and motivations.
In 2018, we served more farm families than ever before: over 800,000 farmers and an estimated 3.2 million children. We’re now within striking distance of serving 1 million clients by 2020. We’re also continuing to deliver impact as we grow: clients in almost all countries achieved substantially higher yields than similar farmers not working with One Acre Fund
