One Acre Fund

PART 1: The Purposeful Investor

Your Worth And Power of the Collective

Explores how empowering women smallholder farmers through resources and training can significantly boost agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and foster economic growth, presenting potential investment opportunities in sustainable agriculture.

This One Acre Fund article is included because it documents how empowering women smallholder farmers—through asset financing, access to quality seeds and fertiliser, and targeted training—directly raises productivity, food security and household prosperity (illustrated by Jeanne D’Arc’s yield gains) and cites cross‑cutting evidence (World Bank: household income up 20–30%; WFP: equal resources could raise production 2.5–4% and lift up to 150 million people from hunger). It aligns with Part 1: The Purposeful Investor and the chapter “Your Worth And Power of the Collective” by showing that individual agency, when supported and aggregated, produces measurable social, economic and climate resilience and points to justice‑centered investment opportunities in sustainable agriculture; I reviewed the article at the provided URL and extracted these statistics and examples to confirm its fit with the book’s themes.
