When rural women are empowered and have access to the resources they need, communities move one step closer to ending hunger and poverty. Across Benin and West Africa, women make up the majority of small-scale farmers, yet they often face unequal access to land, financial services, and agricultural training. BIO PLANET TMC Ltd works to change this reality by empowering rural, low-income women with affordable, high-quality organic fertilizer and practical training in sustainable farming and women’s rights. This approach not only strengthens their productivity and resilience but also promotes social justice and economic inclusion, creating a world where everyone has the same opportunity to live and prosper.
Our work is deeply rooted in rural farming communities in Benin, where women and indigenous small-scale farmers often live on less than two dollars a day, largely due to land degradation and the impacts of climate change. Through continuous innovation, we develop organic biofertilizers that address the root causes of yield decline while improving soil health and long-term fertility. This shift enhances their economic independence and strengthens food security for more than five million residents by 2030, building the foundations of gender equity within agricultural systems. Our commitment to equality in agriculture ensures that every individual has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from a more just and resilient food future for Benin and West Africa.
