Agriculture is foundational to African societies and economies, with 60% of the continent’s population engaging in smallholder farming. Beyond sustenance, farming provides income, alleviates poverty, and promotes food security. Sustainable agriculture is crucial in addressing challenges like climate change, balancing current needs with future generations’ demands while ensuring profitability, environmental stewardship, and equitable development.
Java Foundation supports African communities by promoting sustainable, efficient farming practices. In 2022, we sponsored the Rutuma Amalgamated Farmers’ Cooperative Society to upgrade coffee fermentation tanks in several factories, boosting processing efficiency and benefiting affiliated farmers.
