For rain-fed farming in scarce water conditions, our ‘new farmer start’ provides almost 7kg or 15lb of this unique starch-based superabsorbent. Offering a way for rain dependent farming families to survive intermittent rainfall and increase crop yields, so subsistence farmers facing water scarcity grow their way out of poverty.
Donations provide seed funding for: collaborations with NGOs, developing protocols to optimize crop harvests, purchasing and shipping materials, publishing AFP results internationally; enabling AFP to reach more subsistence farming households with Zeba.
Contributions to Abundance Farming Project are now tax deductable our 501c3 is approved.
'New Farmer Starts' where it all begins...
with a scarce water dosage of 7kg/15lb
Growing from each New Farmer Start, to provide broad benefit in the community
A 'New Farmer Start' covers the
cost for Zeba superabsorbent to be donated through NGOs to the poor farming
families they serve.
Coordinated with NGOs and non-profits, long term suplimented costs provide Zeba to the farming households they serve.
Growing from demonstrated local successes after years of increased yields, local
farmers offset costs.
Community takes over distribution of Zeba after local farmers have demonstrated successes.
Abundance Farming Project pays the initial costs to demonstrate benefits with local farming. Associations with NGOs and aid agencies underwrite material and transportation costs, after longer-term subsidies. Increased yields enable local farmers to profit and provide greater food supplies to their communities, eventually covering costs. Expandable model grows out from multiple hubs where local successes are demonstrated. Community run product distribution provides jobs and business experience around locally demonstrated successes.
Metrics and AssessmentKey evaluation metrics for each project development stage:
Stage 1
– How many farming households plant with Zeba
along with the yield data from the last crop cycle
Stage 2 – How many NGOs are aiding how many farming households planting with Zeba and the yield data from the last crop cycle
Stage 3
– How many farming households increase yields
over how many consecutive years
Stage 4 – How many communities undertake distribution
