“The work that Ripple Effect does addresses the issues that arise consistently in my research findings: the importance of listening to farmers, supporting farmers in their own innovation, knowledge exchange versus information transfer, and the importance of addressing social marginalisation. This, combined with their attitude of learning, critical reflection and evidence-driven programming, are potent in creating positive, effective change in the lives of farmers.”

Ripple Effect is supporting the aims of AFSA: building the capacity of smallholder famers they work with following a food sovereignty methodology, promoting an agroecological climate positive approach, and strengthening socially just local food systems. I am very happy to be able to support Ripple Effect, as they seek to promote our shared values with more communities.”
