About AGRA
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a dynamic partnership working across the continent to assist millions of small-scale farmers and their families lift themselves out of poverty and hunger through increased productivity and profitability. AGRA aids small-scale African farmers by focusing on environmentally sustainable improvements along the whole agriculture “value chain”-from seeds, soil health and water to markets, agricultural education and policy. AGRA is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.
