Smallholder Agricultural Development 3 activities
- Advancing and disseminating smallholder regenerative agriculture researchExpands access to regenerative agricultural research by scaling its availability, translating findings across languages and geographies, and identifying critical research gaps. Includes publishing studies such as the RARE Feasibility Study on AI applications and authoring a book outlining a practical roadmap for transforming global food systems through smallholder farming.
- Advocating for smallholder farmers in global regenerative agriculture discourseWrites and publishes content to center smallholder farmers in the global narrative on regenerative agriculture, promoting their role and contributions in shaping sustainable food systems.
- Implementing regenerative agriculture and agroforestry programs with smallholder farmersDesigns and implements regenerative agriculture and agroforestry initiatives in partnership with smallholder farmers, including through the Regenerative Landscapes Program, which provides technical support, market linkages, and coordinated partnerships to transition farming systems. Activities are conducted primarily in Haiti, with field data collection to monitor and improve crop yields and community outcomes.

How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Data-Informed Agroforestry Improvementmethodology: data-informed agroforestryBy using field-collected data from smallholder farmers to refine agroforestry practices, we enhance agricultural and ecological outcomes because locally generated evidence leads to more effective and adaptive techniques.
- Farmer-Centered Narrative for Just Transformationmethodology: farmer-centered narrative changeBy centering smallholder farmers in the global narrative, we produce more effective and equitable regenerative transformation because their leadership and lived experience are essential to designing and scaling appropriate solutions.
- Knowledge Equity to Accelerate Systemic Changemethodology: knowledge equity in researchBy removing barriers to agricultural research and directing new studies toward critical gaps, we increase the impact of regenerative agriculture because equitable access to knowledge enables faster, broader adoption and innovation.
- Local-Partner Co-Design for Regenerative Agriculturemethodology: local-partner co-designBy co-designing landscape-scale regenerative agriculture programs with local organizations, we produce more resilient and effective ecosystem restoration outcomes because locally rooted implementation is better adapted to ecological and social contexts.
- Replicable, Market-Linked Regenerative Modelmethodology: replicable market-linked modelBy linking regenerative agriculture to global markets, science, and finance, we create self-sustaining and replicable programs because economic integration enables long-term viability and cross-context adaptation.
