ABOUT US
Empowering the
Smallest Farmers
“570 million (84%) of the world’s farmers are smallholders, cultivating on 2 hectares or less. Yet they only supply 30% of the food produced globally, and the smaller the farmer, the larger the challenges.”
We created the GROWN Farm Incubator Foundation in order to address some of these challenges, starting with the smallest farmers there are, holding 0.4 hectares or less. We want to enable these farmers to sustain themselves and their families by farming alone.
