We're on a mission to support 100,000 small-scale farmers to address the challenge of climate change in their communities through crowdfunding for climate resilience.

What We Do

Small farms feed 80% of the people in the developing world. Unfortunately, due to climate change the world's small farms are under threat, jeopardizing world food security. Farmers need information and resources to create healthy and resilient farms that will continue to feed their communities.

Join us in investing in the future of farming. Your contribution can change the lives of those that are doing the most to cool the planet and nourish the world.
