ONE ACRE UNLIMITED FARM
For founder Dr. Emma Naluyima, generating a source of income and putting good food on the table for her children sparked the idea of the one-acre farm. Other factors such as Uganda’s rising population and farm fragmentation also inspired her. Under pressure to increase productivity from small pieces of land, Ugandan farmers are compelled to work longer hours and employ intensive farming practices to increase yields. To prevent farm fragmentation, small farms need to be more efficient and productive to provide food security to local populations. One-acre farms could also prevent the further expansion of agricultural land into natural wilderness areas, affecting local biodiversity.
