#rolnicynajwazniejsi w walce z głodem i ubóstwem na świecie (PL)

Pierwszym pytaniem, jakie przyszło mi do głowy, kiedy poznałam cel i główny temat naszej podróży w ramach programu IWitness, było: dlaczego IKEA Foundation pomaga drobnym rolnikom w Rwandzie?

Chociaż dobrze znałam misję IKEA Foundation i prowadzone przez nią projekty, wydawało mi się oczywiste, że współpraca z One Acre Fund powinna być w jakiś sposób powiązana z naszą codzienną działalnością biznesową. I, szczerze mówiąc, nie byłam odosobniona w tym przekonaniu. Co więcej, jeden z uczestników IWitness został przed podróżą zapytany o to, dlaczego IKEA Foundation pomaga rolnikom w tak odległych regionach świata, podczas gdy polscy rolnicy borykają się z wieloma trudnościami i to im powinniśmy pomagać w pierwszej kolejności… Poznanie działalności One Acre Fund w Rwandzie i roli, jaką pełni, pomaga zrozumieć powody, dla których IKEA Foundation wspiera projekty tej organizacji. Zacznijmy więc od początku.

Misją IKEA Foundation jest poprawa jakości życia dzieci z najbardziej zagrożonych środowisk poprzez umożliwienie ich rodzinom uzyskania trwałych źródeł utrzymania oraz poprzez walkę ze zmianami klimatu i radzenie sobie z nimi. Jak wygląda realizacja tej misji w rzeczywistości? IKEA Foundation uważa, że ​​wszystkie dzieci zasługują na to, aby mieć szansę na lepszą przyszłość z wieloma możliwości. Definiując dwa największe zagrożenia dla ich przyszłości jako ubóstwo i zmiany klimatu, inwestują w partnerstwa z wieloma różnymi organizacjami, które pomagają ludziom – zwłaszcza młodym osobom, kobietom i uchodźcom – w uzyskaniu trwałego dochodu i w walce o przyjazną do życia planetę. IKEA Foundation zapewnia partnerom odpowiednie finansowanie i wsparcie, aby wykorzystując również siłę marki IKEA, wywierać możliwie jak największy, pozytywny wpływ i inspirować innych do włączenia się w działania.

Wśród najważniejszych obszarów działalności, takich jak aktywności na rzecz klimatu, zatrudnienie i przedsiębiorczość czy energia odnawialna, znajduje się również priorytet dotyczący źródeł utrzymania z rolnictwa. W tym obszarze celem IKEA Foundation jest wzmocnienia zatrudnienia młodych osób w społecznościach wiejskich poprzez rolnictwo przyjazne dla planety. I tu właśnie wkracza partnerstwo z One Acre Fund.

Podczas naszej tygodniowej podróży do Rwandy w maju 2019 roku dowiedzieliśmy się, że jest to kraj, w którym najczęstszą profesją jest drobne rolnictwo. Usłyszeliśmy także, że większość głodnych ludzi na świecie to rolnicy – 70% ubóstwa na świecie ulokowane jest w społecznościach, w których rolnictwo jest podstawową działalnością gospodarczą. Czyż to nie ironia? Niestety, zjawisko to występuje również w Rwandzie. Wielu rolników, których poznaliśmy, opowiadało nam, jak trudno jest im uzyskać odpowiednią wielkość plonów, aby nie tylko zarabiać pieniądze na zabezpieczenie przyszłości swoich dzieci, ale przede wszystkim wyprodukować wystarczającą ilość żywności do nakarmienia swoich rodzin. Drobni rolnicy w Rwandzie bardzo często nie otrzymują odpowiedniego wsparcia, nie dociera do nich pomoc rządowa i finansowa oraz nie mają dostępu od sieci elektrycznej. Jednocześnie, wpływ zmian klimatycznych zmniejsza efektywność stosowanych przez nich metod rolniczych. W rezultacie rolnicy i ich rodziny zmagają się z głodem i ubóstwem. Na szczęście One Acre Fund dysponuje sprawdzonymi narzędziami do rozwiązywania tych problemów i w Rwandzie mogliśmy się przekonać, że one naprawdę działają.

One Acre Fund obsługuje drobnych rolników i zawsze stawia ich na pierwszym miejscu. Zawsze. Mimo, że jest to organizacja non-profit, rolnicy są traktowani jak klienci. Program One Acre Fund nie prowadzi działalności charytatywnej – rolnicy płacą za usługi, które otrzymują. Holistyczny model biznesowy składa się z opartego na aktywach finansowania dla środków produkcji rolnej (takich jak nasiona i nawozy), a następnie ich dystrybucji do rolników. Kolejnymi elementami są szkolenia w zakresie nowoczesnych technik rolniczych w celu umożliwienia klientom uzyskania jak największego zwrotu z inwestycji oraz wsparcie po zbiorach, aby pomóc rolnikom minimalizować straty i maksymalizować zysk.

Jest to podejście długoterminowe, które opiera się na edukacji, współpracy i odpowiedzialności za efekty końcowe, jednocześnie umożliwiając zrównoważony rozwój. Efekty są fantastyczne: rolnicy współpracujący z One Acre Fund średnio podwajają swoje zbiory – nawet z tego samego pola uprawnego!

Tworzenie lepszego życia dla rolników to tworzenie lepszego życia również dla ich rodzin, a co za tym idzie dla całych społeczności, których członkowie mogą produkować wystarczającą ilość jedzenia i są zdrowsi. Mając wyższe dochody, rolnicy mogą zapewnić właściwą edukację dzieci, co daje im więcej możliwości w przyszłości. Ponadto, zrównoważone techniki uprawy chronią środowisko i kondycję gleby, czego efektem mogą być większe uprawy w przyszłości. W ten sposób przyjazne dla planety techniki uprawy sprawiają, że na tych trudnych obszarach wiejskich w Rwandzie ​​rolnictwo staje się opłacalne. Czyż to nie wspaniałe? I dodatkowo, tym samym w pełni realizuje jeden z priorytetów działalności IKEA Foundation, o którym wspominałam wcześniej, dotyczący źródeł utrzymania z rolnictwa.

Pozostała jeszcze jedna kwestia do wyjaśnienia: dlaczego IKEA Foundation postanowiła wesprzeć projekt w tak odległym rejonie jak Rwanda, w którym IKEA nie prowadzi żadnej działalności biznesowej? Powód jest prosty – IKEA Foundation chce wywierać realny, pozytywny wpływ. Pragnie udowodnić, że długoterminowe myślenie i napędzanie rozwoju na terenach wiejskich może przełożyć się na prawdziwą zmianę na lepsze życie dla wielu ludzi i przyszłych pokoleń. Na koniec chciałabym raz jeszcze przypomnieć statystyki, że 70% ubóstwa występuje w społecznościach, w których rolnictwo stanowi podstawową działalność gospodarczą. Jeśli naprawdę chcemy zakończyć głód i ubóstwo na świecie, powinniśmy tę kwestię potraktować priorytetowo. A One Acre Fund wspierany przez IKEA Foundation już nad tym pracuje. Z doskonałym efektem!
