At Global South, we look at the following challenges in Africa´s food supply- Post Harvest Losses- Low Productivity- Unstable Incomes- Climate Risks The key focus areas of our operations are:1. Build and operate solar-powered cold storage facilities for agricultural produce in sub-Saharan Africa-> This guarantees market access for farmers, minimizes post-harvest losses and enables deliveries all year round to customers.2. Collaborate closely with, and transfer know-how to smallholder farmers-> This enhances their livelihoods with higher income, builds sustainable and regenerative farming and reduces Africa\'s reliance on food imports.3. Focus on In-House seed production-> This ensures sufficient seed for high quality crops, generates income and reduces dependency. Impact areas are: Food security | CO2 reduction | Gender equality | Youth employment | No poverty | Sustainability | Future of farming
