Growing farmers' fortunes

As keepers of the soil and stewards of Earth’s resources, farmers feed the world yet are often unfairly compensated. One storm, one drought, one flood, and they could lose everything. By fueling farmer incomes, we can break the cycle of poverty and build their resilience amidst nature’s increasingly swift turns; creating strong, safe, and nourishing food systems for farmers, their communities, and us all.
