Concern Worldwide are looking to give a voice to the 1.3billion farmers in the world, who due to poor quality land, cannot grow enough food to feed their families. Half of the world’s hungry live on small farms that don’t produce enough food, with many farmers in danger of slipping further in to poverty. Concern Worldwide’s work on the ground shows that a small amount of help can dramatically transform the lives of the poorest farmers.
Hamisi and Zawadi live with their two daughters on a half-acre plot in a remote region of Tanzania. They used to struggle to provide for their family. But after learning new planting methods and receiving improved seeds from community trainers supported by Concern, they were able to increase their crop production and then diversified to vary their family’s source of income. They now produce more food than they need and sell the surplus at market. Given the right support, farmers like Hamisi and Zawadi have the potential to grow their way out of poverty and hunger.
The Concern Worldwide poverty charity believe the UK government should do more to help poor farmers in developing countries. Thanks to their tireless work, Concern help to provide practical support for farmers and help them to claim their rights.
