I decided to work with and support farmers in Africa. I knew I had an opportunity to build a bridge between the hardworking farmers in Africa that still cannot guarantee their next meal and farmers or people that want to support those type of farmers.ROOTS Africa, supports farmers in Africa by educating them on innovative ways of growing food and optimizing their farming.
