What We Do
The best solutions are grown at home.
Through Convoy’s agriculture training, you give people the skills to break the cycle of poverty for themselves. Convoy’s agriculture specialists teach production methods that encourage long-term sustainable practices. With improved practices and larger yields, farmers are often able to give back to Convoy’s strategic feeding programs.
Since Convoy came to our village, I have learned that there is so much we can do in this village. I will definitely continue and work because my eyes are open now.
Statistics
By the numbers.
Growth in the agriculture sector is two to three times as effective in reducing poverty compared to other sectors.
More than 1 billion people globally rely on rice production for their livelihoods.
Small farms produce 81% of the world’s crops.
Approach
Cultivating sustainable communities through agriculture training.
Convoy of Hope works alongside local communities to create sustainable sources of nutrition in order to increase food security.
Agricultural Training
Agriculture is complex. Ever-changing variables like soil health, climate, and pests can have a major impact on all aspects of production. Training in agricultural best practices equips farmers with life-changing knowledge and the ability to grow more.
From kids in school to commercial farmers, Convoy teaches the most effective agricultural practices for each community. This is done by:
- • Facilitating hands-on agricultural projects at schools
- • Training participants to produce and preserve food so their families have access to year-round nutrition
- • Engaging farmers in food production and preservation on a community or commercial scale
Extension & Research
Through relationships with local governments, colleges, scientists, and businesses, Convoy of Hope is conducting practical research that establishes new farming benchmarks in areas struggling with food insecurity.
Production
By working to foster food-secure communities, Convoy is exploring long-term solutions to systemic problems. Techniques for food storage, processing, and preservation are being implemented. These methods help local farmers and economies thrive while promoting global food security.
