This International Women’s Day, Haller highlights the vital role of female farmers in combating poverty and food insecurity. Women perform up to 60% of agricultural labor in parts of Africa, yet their contributions remain overlooked. Discover how Haller empowers women with training, resources, and support to boost yields, improve livelihoods, and break cycles of inequality.

Bees play a critical role in the global food chain, pollinating around three-quarters of the world’s flowering plants which produce 90% of the world’s food. The FAO has estimated that one out of every three bites of food we eat depends on bee pollination.

Despite their outsized importance in the global food system, female farmers face a growing number of challenges. Not only do these obstacles negatively impact individual female smallholders, they fundamentally undermine global efforts to address hunger and poverty.

Studies have demonstrated the increased penetration of mobile technology across Africa. But to build a more up to date picture, specifically focused on the use of technology in agriculture, Felix Young set out to survey smallholder farmers across 15 African countries.

In December 2023, the Haller team in Kenya conducted farmer training sessions in partnership with the Osiligi Charity Projects. An exciting step in our mission to scale knowledge of regenerative farming in Kenya and beyond.
