About the Role
One Acre Fund is piloting a new initiative called the Smallholder Resilience Fund (SRF). The idea is to combine:
Market Access: Aggregating produce from smallholder farmers, focusing on high value climate friendly crops
Small and Medium Enterprise investments: Investing with debt, equity, and mezzanine and providing technical assistance to companies along the value chain
