A YEAR IN AN AFRICAN FARM COMMUNITY ON THE BRINK OF CHANGE
Four Kenyan farmers. One acre of land each. One year of work, worry and hope. If they succeed, so might humanity.

This is the story of four farm families who are struggling to improve their livelihoods through agricultural development. A new social enterprise, One Acre Fund, (http://www.oneacrefund.org) offers to help them defeat their persistent hunger with improved seeds, fertilizer, training, and market access. It is a leap of blind faith, putting their trust in new technologies unavailable in the region until recently. As we grieve for their losses and cheer for their successes hope builds for the many like them who, by feeding their families, bring the promise of food security to Africa — and the rest of the world.
