FARM-Africa offer practical help to poor African farmers and herders to enable them to produce food sustainably. The charity's core aim is to make sure that future generations don't have to depend on handouts of aid.

The 'FARM' of FARM-Africa stands for Food and Agricultural Research Management and aims to link scientific research institutions with small-scale farmers, enabling them to exploit the latest technology. It works chiefly in smallholder agriculture, forest management, herding and land reform.

FARM-Africa runs projects in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. It also manages funds such as the Maendeleo Agricultural Technology Fund, promoting the use of new agricultural technologies to farmers and helping them to generate sustainable incomes for the communities.
