SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY
At Raising Gabdho Foundation (RGF), we are dedicated to combating hunger and poverty through sustainable agriculture and food security initiatives. Our mission is to empower communities, both rural and urban, to produce their own food and achieve economic and environmental resilience.
Objectives and Approach
Our methodology emphasizes community-led development and strategic agricultural investments, fostering sustainable growth and transformation. Here’s how we achieve this:
Empowering Communities and Urban Agriculture: We enhance the capabilities of farming communities by providing access to sustainable resource management, innovative technologies, and essential services. We advocate for urban and semi-urban communities to grow their own food, promoting self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on external sources. Our programs integrate climate-smart innovations, digitization, and value chain development to help communities adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Knowledge Sharing and Partnerships: We equip our stakeholders with the knowledge they need to succeed by disseminating information on market access, innovative practices, and socio-economic development. Additionally, we form robust partnerships with various stakeholders to drive coordinated efforts towards eradicating hunger and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Inclusive and Resilient Growth: Our programs strengthen the ability of stakeholders to withstand agricultural shocks, ensuring the stability and resilience of food systems. We focus on marginalized groups such as women, girls, and youth, promoting agriculture-driven economic growth that is inclusive and equitable.
Through these comprehensive and adaptive strategies, RGF empowers smallholders and agri-preneurs to become pivotal contributors to food systems, driving socio-economic transformation and environmental conservation. Our commitment to sustainable agriculture ensures a food-secure future for all communities we serve.
