Most are currently unable to
produce enough, either to feed their families an adequate nutritional diet, or
to sell in the market and generate sufficient income to meet other needs.
Population growth exerts
continuous pressure on arable land, resulting in family shamba sizes shrinking
with each generation, and/or triggering local migration from densely populated
high-potential agricultural zones into more marginal land in the semi-arid
areas.
Whichever the scenario, they
need the right technologies to grow more food more often, and to produce crops
of higher nutritional and market value. Of particular concern - one of the
topmost priorities –is the issue of soil health.
African farmland soils are
badly depleted, due to continuous farming land not allowed to rejuvenate, which
is worsened by nutrient mining without replenishing soil nutrients.
The smallholder‘s challenge
is either to produce more food and more income from less and less land with
rapidly deteriorating soils, or to turn drylands into productive farms. So the
right technologies must include those which can restore and improve soil health
and fertility.
Currently the most widely known
and available technologies are inorganic fertilizers, which are not matched to
the particular needs of specific soils or agro-economic zones. The lack of
knowledge and access to organic fertilizers hinders farmers‘ uptake of
sustainable agricultural practices.
In 2011 Wanda Agriculture was established to address these challenges and deliver along the triple bottom line – profit, people and planet.

Having completed its
technology research and licensing phase, proof of concept stage and first half
of its pilot phase, the company has split into two strategic units - Wanda
Organic to produce effective soil and plant health solutions and Wanda Mobile
to distribute the solutions and service the end user.
