Driving impact across the agri value chain
OneFarm Impact is a funding vehicle that facilitates collaboration and partnership opportunities to drive transformation within Africa’s agriculture sector. It comprises of 2 structures: an NPC for corporate social investment (CSI) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) funding, and a (Pty) LTD for enterprise development (ED) funding.
The platform engages multiple stakeholders across the agri-food system to create solutions that address food insecurity, support smallholder farmer enterprise development, and reduce the environmental and economic impact of food waste from farm to fork.
The OneFarm Share programme
The Impact fund supports the OneFarm Share programme which is a platform powered by Standard Bank in partnership with Agri FinTech HelloChoice. Operating across South Africa, OneFarm Share takes a sector-wide view of agriculture and works to create a more inclusive and efficient agri-food value chain by addressing key industry challenges, such as:
- Reduction of waste on farms and on fresh produce markets.
- Socio-economic development through market access for smallholder farmers.
- Alleviating hunger by providing access to nutritious, fresh produce for beneficiaries in the relief market.
Available fresh produce is channelled through the platform and matched with requests from registered beneficiaries and the communities to:
- Provide commercial farmers with an environmental and economic alternative on farm food waste excess produce.
- Create an enterprise development benefit for smallholder farmers through market access, logistics support, market-related pricing and same-day payment.
The OneFarm Share platform amplifies the allocation and distribution of CSI, ED and donor funds to achieve multiplied impact for donors and beneficiaries, while creating a transparent model to distribute food across the value chain.
