Our Key Initiatives

Supporting food security initiatives through revitalising food production systems

Forty Squares is committed to supporting initiatives geared towards strengthening food production systems within farming communities. We recognise strategies that can increase agricultural productivity for farmers in order make a significant contribution to reducing households’ food insecurity status.

Supporting emerging farmers through
training and broader socio-economic upliftment activities

Our farmer engagement initiative is supported by a model which has been tried and tested in Southern Africa. The model supports emerging farmers through a strong training element where farmers undergo training in line with sustainable farming methods and allows for marketable solutions for agri-produce. A key aspect to our model is forging and formalizing the necessary relationships between farmers, suppliers and retailers to build marketable business ventures.

Promoting principles of conservation
and sustainable agriculture

Forty Squares incorporates the promotion of conservation agriculture into both our social and environmental considerations. We have vested interest for partnerships and collaborations where high standards of sustainability and conservation agriculture are maintained in communities. As such, we furthermore ensure we meet expectations of stakeholders and relevant policies.
