Fight Hunger & Promote Peace
Featured Programs 2021
One Loaf has worked closely with community leaders from Ghana’s Anamabo State, including Chief Nana Ansa Bediako XI and Queen Nana Mbroba Dabo, to support smallholder farmers whose livelihoods are being threatened by soil degradation and climate change. In June 2015, One Loaf established a demonstration farm in the Village of Kobina Ansa (8 km outside of Cape Coast) in order to train smallholder farmers in sustainable agricultural methods, including composting, rainwater harvesting, companion planting, and seed collecting.
Since June 2015, One Loaf has conducted free workshops at the demo farm for smallholder farmers in Kobina Ansa and the Surrounding villages. One Loaf instructors also provide on-site training at participants’ farms and supply them with the materials needed (open-pollinated seed, compost, and shade netting) to apply the techniques learned.
