Commitment description

Together with our partners, supporting the livelihoods of 500,000 smallholder farmers across value chains by 2030. By 2030, we will have quadrupled our supplier engagements to support the livelihoods of more than 500,000 smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Using business model innovation for improved nutrition, we aim to promote equality and support the livelihoods of smallholder farmers on a wider scale across Africa, ensuring local economic stability and development, creating jobs and driving climate resilience. We work with governments, feed millers, egg producers, and farmer cooperatives (public-private partnerships) across Africa to develop effective sourcing models that ensure better, more reliable incomes for farmers.
