Sustainable Agriculture
We share knowledge with communities on how they can make their land productive and biodiverse, helping them to build food security in a climate-positive way. We base our training on the resources they own and those gifted by Ripple Effect donors.
Gender & Social Inclusion
We actively involve marginalised and excluded people in our projects. Our work embeds transformational changes in workloads, decision-making and respect, enabling members to work together more harmoniously and productively.
Enterprise Development
Once farmers are food secure, we encourage them to see their farm as businesses, to generate income and create stable futures. We support them with techniques and networks to help grow their revenue and provide for their families.
