Africas 33 million smallholder farmers feed families, power local economies, and hold the key to national food security. Yet too many remain underserved, achieving only a fraction of their potential as climate shocks intensify and food import bills rise. Hunger, poverty, and youth underemployment persist alongside fertile land and untapped opportunity. FIPS exists so that Small Farms can have Big Futures all across Africa. By connecting farmers with timely information, practical technologies, and viable markets, FIPS turns agricultural potential into sustainable growth. A moment of urgency Food import bills are rising, climate pressures are intensifying, and smallholder farmers face growing challenges in sustainable livelihoods. They need practical, scalable solutions that strengthen resilience, expand local market access and unlock livelihoods. For over 20 years, FIPS has shown that small farms can have big futures when the systems around them work. Our mission is to give Small Farms Big Futures. Opportunities for agricultural transformation FIPS believes that smallholder farmers can drive national food security, rural prosperity, and climate resilience when the right systems are in place. By partnering with farmers, governments, development organisations, and the private sector, FIPS identifies and removes the barriers that stand in the way of sustainable agricultural transformation.
