Food & Water

Food waste is eating away at our planet, your pocket and society. See how Heifer International is changing the narrative — one sustainable solution at a time.

Access to electricity touches almost all aspects of farmers’ lives and livelihoods — from irrigation to harvesting to keeping produce fresh before it reaches markets. Here’s what that looks like around the world where Heifer works.

Rising food prices are driving global hunger up at an alarming scale, hitting the world’s most vulnerable populations the hardest.

Heifer believes ending poverty and hunger begins with agriculture, and smallholder farmers are at the heart of this effort. But what exactly is a smallholder farmer?

A strong, equitable value chain can help vulnerable people provide nutritious food for their families and communities while earning a fair wage for themselves. But what is it, exactly?

Heifer invests in infrastructure across our project areas to build strong market systems, giving farmers the purchasing power to keep nutritious food on the table and roofs above their heads.

Nearly 811 million people go to bed hungry each night. Chronic hunger is exacerbated by poverty, lack of nutrition education and social barriers. Heifer’s nutrition development model is holistically addressing these challenges to end world hunger.
