HARNESSING THE POWER OF NATURE TO SOLVE AGRICULTURE PRODUCTIVITY CHALLENGES IN WEST AFRICA
GreenGrow is a social impact venture operating in Liberia, West Africa, dedicated to transforming the agricultural landscape through sustainable solutions that provide affordable high-nutrient fertilizers to farmers. With a focus on empowering small-scale farmers and medium-sized agriculture enterprises to increase food productivity and nurture the environment, we are committed to fostering resilience and prosperity in Liberia's rural communities.
The Problem
Liberia is a country in West Africa with abundant agricultural resources that faces significant challenges in ensuring food security and environmental sustainability. With approximately 60% of the population engaged in farming, agriculture is the largest sector of the Liberian Economy. However, many farmers live below the poverty line and often lack access to affordable fertilizers due to living in a region that is the most expensive fertilizer market in the world while facing environmental pressures such as soil degradation and climate change.
