Small Farm Cities Africa: Building Affordable Planned Communities
Most Africans are engaged in the agricultural sector and are trapped in economic systems that are informal and therefore unbankable. As an informal sector, private property rights are not recognized, making it impossible for African farmers to store and transfer the value they create, and making it impossible for commercial lenders and investor to finance the sector. Small Farm Cities Africa is solving this problem by building bankable assets, blending affordable housing with greenhouse horticulture, fish farming, and value-added services.
