Partnering to Transform Agriculture at Scale
The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) partners with public, private and philanthropic institutions to drive lasting change in agriculture and food systems.
A trusted Global Impact Network
SAN is an independent, mission-driven network.
We convene diverse actors across regions, crops, and value chains, creating safe and neutral spaces for collaboration.
This allows us to:
-
Align stakeholders around shared goals
-
Build trust and long-term relationships
-
Accelerate learning and adoption of best practices
-
Enable coordinated action across regions and themes
Guided by a clear strategy
SAN’s work is guided by our 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, which sets clear priorities for where we focus our energy and resources.
Our strategy centers on four interconnected goals. These goals shape how we design projects, build partnerships, and invest in the network functions that sustain long-term impact:

Strengthening SAN as a global impact network

Proven project implementation
SAN designs and implements projects that respond to urgent global challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and social equity in agriculture.
We bring:
Deep expertise in sustainable agriculture and supply chains
Strong local and regional partnerships
Robust monitoring, evaluation, and learning
Practical tools that support adoption and scale
Strengthening the Systems Behind the Work
Lasting impact depends on more than projects alone.
It requires strong networks, shared learning, and trusted spaces for collaboration.
Institutional donors support SAN not only to deliver programs, but also to maintain and strengthen the systems that make those programs possible.
This includes:
-
Global and regional member collaboration platforms
-
Technical working groups and communities of practice
-
Regional convenings, assemblies, and learning events
-
Knowledge exchange and joint innovation across regions
These network functions multiply impact across projects, partners, and geographies.
From Local Action to Global Impact
Our strength lies in connecting local realities with global priorities.
We work across scales, ensuring that policies, funding, and tools respond to real conditions on the ground.
This “local-to-global” approach helps ensure relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.
