Our Mission

Transforming small-holder farmers into commercial businesses that are self-sustainable through the adoption of modern regenerative and sustainable farming techniques and business practices, whilst becoming a leading food processor through investment in efficient technology.

 

Our Founders

Grant and Moses had the idea of developing sustainable food security for rural farmers back in 2012.
With expertise in agriculture and experience with small-holder development in Mozambique, they decided to apply their learning to develop food security.



provided finance for both debt and equity to establish two state-of-the-art maize mills and develop an out-grower program. This investment helped build processing capacity, and establish a small-holder farmer supply chain.
