We believe that the road to ending poverty begins by empowering farmers to earn a living income.

That requires connecting them to thriving marketplaces and key players in local economies. In partnership with public and private organizations, we provide capital, technology and other critical resources necessary for small-scale farmers to succeed.

We refuse to stop until every person is living a dignified life with access to nutritious food, resources, education, health care and money saved for emergencies.
