People Impacted
1 in 4 people globally are food insecure.
Conflict, climate change, and poverty are the main culprits.
Good quality vegetable seed, locally-appropriate farmer training, agricultural supplies, and ongoing support can provide a solution.

Support our Work
Women Empower their Communities
When you empower a woman, you empower an entire community. The UN estimates that for every $1 a woman makes, 90 cents goes back into her family, creating upward mobility that breaks the cycle of poverty. By working with women’s groups, we help women build food security whilst producing income for their families.
Powering Community Gardens in the US
38 million people in the US are food insecure. We believe community gardens can change that. Our community gardens promote food literacy and increase access to healthy, nutritious food for families in need across the country.
Crisis Recovery for Refugees
Vegetable-growing programs are unlikely to be the first response in a crisis, yet are an enduring, stabilizing element. Economists and disaster victims alike know that post-crisis food markets can feature wild shortages and surpluses, price spikes and crashes, and food-quality concerns. By fostering vegetable production, relief efforts can help provide long term resilience.
Seeds for School Gardens
School gardens grow vegetables and also grow future leaders to counter hunger and poverty in their communities. In many places, a garden-supported school lunch is the only healthy meal of the day and motivates parents to keep their kids in school.
