Organizational&nbsp;backgroundFarm Africa, founded in 1985, is an international non-governmental organization working in Ethiopia since 1988.

We believe Africa has the power to feed itself and are helping make this happen by establishing and spreading the best farming and forestry techniques so that poor farmers and herders have more food to feed their families and to sell. We help smallholders manage their natural resources sustainably so that they can withstand climate change challenges and shocks and ensure their families have enough food in the future as well as now.
