Environmental Sustainability
Ending poverty begins with agriculture
Our expert staff work with farmers as they integrate climate-smart agricultural practices on their farms to increase resilience and crop production.
Living Incomes from the Ground Up
We believe that women-led smallholder farming is the future of our economy and our relationship with the earth.
At Heifer International, we invest in individuals and communities around the world, teaching effective tools of the trade and the tools of trade itself. We know how to produce goods that are difficult to harvest or in short supply, while simultaneously bringing people to a living income.

Our expert staff work with farmers as they integrate climate-smart agricultural practices on their farms to increase resilience and crop production. We support biogas plants that provide clean energy to local households, and irrigation projects that use water more efficiently.
