The North & Northeastern States represent the poorest regions that are vastly dominated by semi-arid territories and with the highest inequalities in Brazil.
Our projects contribute to significant reductions of gender, generational, racial and ethnic inequalities.
The NEB region is home to 53% of Brazil's 15 million people who live below the poverty line and 7.5 million who live below the extreme poverty line.
Our projects support small holder family farming, improving their crop diversity, production and incomes by facilitating access to essential services, regenerating arid lands, overcoming the cultural reluctance to change, and connecting them to markets.
​
Our activities also target the most marginalized groups, such as indigenous and quilombola (Afro-descendant) communities, agrarian reform settlers, women and youth.
We work to improve policy dialogue, territorial planning and coordination of public policies, services and programmes.
​
Areas within our project´s demographics have the highest number of indigenous, youth, or family leader suicides in the entirety of the country.

Almost 47 per cent of the workforce in India is engaged in agriculture, unless this sector performs well, “sabka saath, sabka vikas” will not be possible.
​
Indian farms are small (70% are less than 1 hectare, the national average is less than 2 hectares) and have limited access to critical resources and support, technology services or irrigation solutions.
​
They suffer from the effects of climate change and water shortages. In addition to
poor access to reliable and timely market information for the farmers, the absence of supply & demand forecasting, poorly structured and inefficient supply chains, inadequate cold storage facilities, a shortage of proper food processing units, and the intermediation services between the farmers and consumers.
​
These issues combine and result in a farmer committing suicide every 41 minutes.

Africa has a diversified economy with agriculture being the backbone of the economy and also central to the country’s development strategy. More than 60 % of Africans make some part of their living in agriculture.
​
The majority of farmers work without basic agricultural inputs or updated technology and lack adequate financial or extension services. Recurrent crises such as drought in arid and semi-arid areas have exacerbated the vulnerability of basic livelihoods.
​
Farmers are faced with numerous challenges that need immediate attention.
They range from land fragmentation and depleted soils. incurable crop diseases, a fast growing population, , among others.
Due to the onset of climate change some parts of the country experience abnormally long droughts resulting in disastrous crop failure and the mortality of farmed animals.
The country is now host to pests and crop diseases that have no known cure and they are fast wiping out major food and cash crops.
​
These challenges combine and have produced a 20% increase in farmer suicide rates.
