Agriculture Program

Agriculture employs over 50% of the workforce in Senegal, with about 80% of those workers being in rural areas, like Ngonine. The Agriculture Program enables farmers to feed their families and make a profit through consistent planting seasons and entrepreneurial practices.

Since 2022, the Agriculture Project has grown from two staff to ten. The farmers have started competing with market prices, utilizing commercial reporting, and increasing the number of consecutive planting cycles. Consulting with a soil engineer has increased the quality of fertilizer and seeds, new crop trials, and two tractor rentals.
