Seed To Stitch Fellowship for Farmers

MAY 6, 2025

In Nigeria, 88% of farmers are smallholders. They grow our food, our cotton, our future yet they receive less than 2% of national agricultural funding.

At 919 Vrede, we believe in rebalancing that equation. Through our Seed to Stitch Fellowship, co-funded by our shopping community, we’re supporting African smallholder farmers with training and resources to transition into regenerative agriculture.

Because resilience exists everywhere; but support doesn’t.

By giving access to modern tools and regenerative practices, we aim to increase farmers income by up to 25%, while building a more sustainable path forward for their land and livelihoods.

This is part of our commitment to regeneration. Because sustainability isn't just about fabric and fashion. It's about soil, systems, and stories.
