We support communities in regions most affected by food insecurity, climate change, conflict, and economic hardship.
By partnering with local communities, governments, businesses, and civil society, we strengthen agri-food systems and revitalise rural economies to ensure access to nutritious food, secure livelihoods, protect ecosystems, and build long-term resilience.
Through our partnerships, we promote sustainable agricultural production, improve market linkages, and strengthen the business environment. In particular, we improve access to land, water, finance, inputs, training, information services and digital tools.
Our work supports communities, governments, and businesses in managing climate risks and restoring ecosystems through nature-based solutions, tackling water scarcity, and preserving biodiversity.
We strengthen financial ecosystems to enhance access to affordable, sustainable finance for agri-food actors. This includes partnering with microfinance institutions, cooperatives, and value chain actors to develop inclusive products like farmer loans, leasing, and crop insurance. We integrate digital financial tools and promote green financing where relevant.
By supporting women-led initiatives and collective action, we foster equal opportunities, secure incomes, and stronger representation in decision-making. Our work also addresses policy barriers and cultivates an enabling environment for women-led businesses.
We create opportunities for young people by connecting them to agri-food systems through skills training, entrepreneurship support, and employment pathways. This ensures youth engagement in building resilient, thriving food systems for the future.
