Growing how we grow

We will expand and speed up the distribution of new high-yield varieties that could triple or quadruple yields. With the well-being of farmers and their communities at the forefront, we are decreasing the need for more farmland while encouraging farmers to venture into crop diversification and enable reforestation.
