FARMING

We support farmers overcoming huge barriers with ingenuity and passion.


 

Our partners are transforming farming by innovating new ways of working that benefit both people and planet.

We seek out farmers’ groups, social enterprises, and local NGOs conducting transformative work in their communities.

We then ask how we can support them best. Whether that’s transferring skills, sharing new research and learnings, or convening meetings to speak directly with government officials or trading partners.
