Strategy to 2030

People. Nature. Climate. Proof.

We’re a nonprofit network built to make sustainable agriculture the norm—by supporting farming communities, strengthening local civil society, and delivering verified outcomes that anyone can trust.

Our Purpose

Vision: Agriculture healing and nourishing our extraordinary planet.

Mission: Transforming agriculture toward a sustainable and equitable future for communities and nature.

How we show up: Integrity, radical collaboration, curiosity, empathy, inclusivity and adaptability guide what we do and how we partner—with producers, CSOs, governments, funders, and market actors.

How Transformation Happens —Our Theory of Change

ToC 08may.png

We co-design locally and work through trusted partners. We verify results. Inputs become support and safeguards. Activities become adoption by farmers and alignment by suppliers. Outputs become evidence. Outcomes are healthier ecosystems, safer work, and resilient livelihoods. Feedback and learning improve each cycle.
