Sign the GFN Farmers' Declaration for Regenerative Agriculture

Everyone's talking about regenerative agriculture. But the people who actually regenerate the land? They weren't even in the room. Eight farmers from eight countries changed that — writing a declaration from the dirt up, not the boardroom down.

This isn't a petition. It's a mandate — from the hands that feed the world to the institutions that govern it. Add your name.

How We Work

Amplify

From the UN General Assembly to national parliaments — our farmers don't just attend. They reshape the conversation.

Initiative

International Year of the Woman Farmer

Women grow 60–80% of the food in developing countries — yet hold less than 15% of agricultural land. This initiative doesn't just celebrate women farmers. It demands they lead the conversation about our food future.

The Founding
Farmers Fund

A farmer in Kenya has a breakthrough in drought-resistant planting. A rice grower in Cambodia has cut pesticide use by 60%. But without travel funding, their stories die in the village.

Your donation sends them to the table. Every dollar ensures another farmer's voice reaches the people making decisions about our food system.
