ABOUT FARMS FOUNDATION
Who We Are

Building resilient agriculture and food systems.

FARMS Foundation is an independent, locally governed public-purpose organisation working to build more productive, profitable, inclusive and resilient farming and food systems. FARMS work at the intersection of agriculture, food, markets and communities, bringing together diverse stakeholders to develop practical solutions for farmers and rural communities.

FARMS work spans sustainable and regenerative agriculture, farmer institutions, agricultural value chains, responsible markets, rural enterprise, innovation, knowledge and policy.

We believe lasting change requires more than individual projects. It requires strong institutions, meaningful partnerships, evidence-based solutions and the ability to learn and scale.
