In Africa, agriculture is a critical sector for food security, employment, and economic growth. However, the sector faces significant challenges, including climate change, soil degradation, and limited access to finance. Many small-scale farmers struggle to access affordable credit, improved seeds, and climate-resilient farming practices, making it difficult to adapt to climate-related stresses.
Climate change exacerbates these challenges, with rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events threatening agricultural productivity and food security. To address these challenges, The Africa Scale platform provides access to finance for sustainable agriculture projects that promote climate resilience and adaptation.
