For people living in absolute poverty, the “minimum level” of adequate food intake is significantly below an acceptable nutritional level.
The result is that their health and development are seriously compromised; immunity to disease is low, mental development is hindered and therefore learning is stunted. Even the energy level needed to produce more food is lacking.
The majority of those we work with depend on agriculture to produce the basic foods they survive on. Subsistence agriculture, the term used for this, simply means “supporting oneself at the minimum level.”
SAM Ministries is focused on agricultural development in a number of ways, four of which are listed below. Consider partnering with us in one of these to help us save lives, and to give people a chance for a better future.
