Around 67% of Ethiopians are engaged in agriculture, mainly in subsistence and rain-fed farming and livestock production. Despite this, around 35% of the population doesn’t have enough nutritious food to eat.

Frequent drought, a lack of training and equipment for farmers, and poor access to markets make it difficult for them to earn a living.

Farm Africa has worked in the landlocked country since 1988. From dairy goats and good-quality seeds to business training and forest conservation, we provide simple and practical support to help lift farmers and herders out of poverty.
