Partnerships

Strategic partnerships underpin our work to bridge the gaps between research, farmers, markets, and a supportive, enabling environment. The sustainability of our impact depends on effective partnerships.

We work closely with partners large and small to design and implement a wide variety of innovative products, development projects, and initiatives. We also work to increase our partners’ capacities through training and convening to support sustainable food systems – from the lab to the consumer.
