AMAATI is a Ghanaian social enterprise that pioneered the revival of Fonio in Northern Ghana. An Enterprise that works with farmers, particularly women in producing and processing Fonio. The enterprise is formed with the idea of creating sustainable livelihoods for women farmers whose lands are degraded due to their excessive usage and creating a land management system where the lands can be regenerated and used to grow other crops.
