Nampya Farmers Market provides the infrastructure for farmers to store their produce, connect them to markets, improve access to credit and secure better prices. We build and lease solar powered micro-warehouses near their communities, enabling them to easily and affordably store more of their harvest.  By solar cooling, safely storing, and selling at optimal prices through our mobile money-powered marketplace that cuts out exploitative middlemen, Nampya Farmers Market blows the candle to spread through the project communities especially with youth and women involved. They're getting control of defragmented food producing business plans. and getting control of business plans implies a significant improvement in livelihoods (e.g. increase in incomes) and revalued ecosystems so the resilient soils can sustain ecosystem services and food security.

And having a secure right to land significantly influences them to make significant investments including investments that prevent soil erosion, deforestation and creation of climate resilience.
