Sustainable livelihoods and healthy lives for all in a changing climate

Our mission

We aim to alleviate hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impact of climate change through community-led, market-based and enterprise-focused approaches, so that people have access to nutritious food, clean water, decent employment and incomes, while sustaining natural resources.

Impact: We are accountable, ambitious and committed to systemic change

Innovation: We are agile, creative and enterprising in an ever changing world
