We help smallholder farmers co-create resilient, fair and regenerative farming & food systems adapted to their local realities and rooted in Indigenous knowledge. Here, we'll be sharing their stories🌱
We hear a lot about problems in farming and #foodsystems, but what about solutions?

There’s a myth that without synthetic fertilizers & pesticides, food production will collapse. But smallholder farmers across the world are proving otherwise. In Nepal, women are replacing chemical inputs with locally made biofertilizers—restoring soil & increasing yields 👇
