Severe hunger and poverty affects nearly one billion people around the world and two billion people in the developing world are malnourished. Three-quarters of the world’s poorest people get their food and income from farming small plots of land. They deal with diverse and challenging farming systems, facing diseases, pests, and drought, as well as unproductive soil, with limited access to inputs. Their livestock are frequently weak or sick, resulting in reduced production of eggs and milk to eat or sell. Their success or failure determines whether they have enough to eat, are able to send their children to school, and can earn any money to save and lead healthy and productive lives. 

    Meanwhile, in the intervening years, population growth, inflation, dwindling natural resources, and climate change have caused food prices to rise and agricultural productivity has once again become strained. Many of those affected are smallholder farmers. Three-quarters of the world’s poorest people get their food and income by farming small plots of land about the size of a football field. Most of them barely get by struggling with unproductive soil, plant diseases, pests, and drought. Their livestock are frequently weak or sick. Reliable markets for their products and good information about pricing are hard to come by, and government policies rarely serve their interests well. 

    We advocate for agricultural policies that support farmers in their efforts to better feed themselves and their communities in the process also encouraging farmers to embrace and adopt sustainable practices that help them grow more with less land and other costly inputs while preserving natural resources for future generations. 

        We are also dedicated towards training and educating the local population to develop new pathways that further boost their sustainability. Also committed to communicating our strategy and sharing what we are developed with partners, collaborating effectively with others maximizes collective impact in achieving goals.
