Organisation Xay Fay Seed Farm operated by Papa Sène & Associates (PSA) a social
enterprise committed to fighting malnutrition in rural communities.
Description This nutrition-led agriculture seed farm, entirely funded by its founder,
Papa Sene Dièry, focuses on providing high quality seed stocks for a diverse
range of nutrition focused crops in Malicounda and Warang communes in
Western Senegal. The farm’s mission is to improve the health of 48,714
local inhabitants by cultivating a more nutritious food supply. With a
specific focus on resolving high-priority nutritional gaps like Vitamin A, Iron
Vitamin C and Zinc deficiencies, the farm produces seeds, seedlings, and
grafting scions for everything from fruit trees to bio-fortified crops like
Vitamin A rich orange flesh sweet potatoes, iron fortified beans or zinc and
iron rich millet Farm affiliates provide technical support to local farmers,
particularly women, furnishing agricultural products, services and
knowledge to help them grow the crops as well as information on the
optimal preparation of the foods. The farm is modelled as a franchise to
rapidly expand to other communes of Senegal and Mr. Sene is working with
the local government, NGOs and donors and local universities to create a
program for young graduates from agriculture and nutrition programs to
help them start franchises in other regions. Mr. Sene aims to improve the
health of 250,000 children under 5 and 100,000 women at reproductive age
through the franchise model.
