Why Agriculture?

Food security is crucial for communities and families around the world. When we help farmers increase the food security of their communities and families, we can play a part in transforming the lives of countless people by lifting them out of dependency.

Education

We educate farmers through curriculum, workshops, and local agronomist and technicians. We strive to take the best science to the farmers. As we make agronomy education available, we also increase the information flow to as many in the community as possible.

Assessment

We use the best tools available to assess the local culture, context of living environments, and the economic situation to understand the real food security needs in the local community.

Educating schools, churches, and orphanages around the world on how to start and maintain their own urban gardens.

Implementation

This program strives to assist farmers in implementing the best agronomic practices in both pilot and large-scale projects.

Locally Grown Meals

Our Agriculture work is not just about helping farmers. It’s also about feeding children. Our work in Haiti is a perfect example. Since 2012, we’ve trained nearly 5,000 farmers on the island nation in best management practices for culturally relevant agriculture. Last year, that work culminated in 1,263,489 meals for our Children’s Feeding program — locally grown in Haiti from farmers we’ve worked with and trained.
