Heifer International is strongly committed to integrating women, as well as youth and other vulnerable groups, into agriculture and food systems. Our programs foster meaningful prospects for decision-making, entrepreneurship, leadership and economic advancement, unleashing the innate power of local communities to drive their own development.
Heifer International collaborates with smallholder farmers, their communities and a range of partners to transform food systems to increase farming households’ resilience, increase sustainable food production and ensure healthy ecosystems.
Heifer International works with smallholder farmers and partners at all levels to establish farms and food systems that feed families, create economic opportunity and minimize stress on the planet, with a focus on climate-conscious production and inclusive markets.
Heifer International applies the One Health approach — a concept recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health — to help smallholder farmers and their communities care for their livestock and build food systems that feed families while reducing the burden on people, animals and ecosystems.
