Good Nature Agro - Chipata, Zambia

Good Nature is committed to helping small-scale farmers generate long-term income. To do this, they have developed a program that trains local community leaders to become qualified Private Extension Agents (PEAs). These PEAs then provide regular training and tailored advice to the farmers so they can make their fields healthier and more profitable. They also offer a loan of seeds and other resources to the farmers, and at harvest time Good Nature guarantees to buy the certified legume seed that the farmers have produced. By growing these high-value crops instead of traditional cash crops such as maize and cotton, the farmers can more than double their income.
