Food Sovereignty Initiatives
We advocate for food sovereignty for all, which protects the rights of communities to define their own food and agriculture systems. We invest in Black and Indigenous Food Sovereignty across the globe, supporting communities to grow their own food sustainably and resourcing infrastructure projects that help scale healthy food production, boost incomes, and recover ancestral and Indigenous foodways.
