FOOD SYSTEMS TOUCH EVERY ISSUE FACING HUMANITY TODAY.

As a strategic alliance of philanthropic foundations, we leverage our resources and networks to shift food and agriculture systems toward greater sustainability, security, and equity. We believe in the urgency of transforming global food systems, and in the power of working together and with others to effect positive change.

Since 2012, the Global Alliance for the Future of Food has been engaged in an innovative approach to funder collaboration. How we work is a critical component to realizing positive change. We emphasize the active participation and engagement of member foundations from all over the world.

Our Theory of Transformation

Genuine food systems transformation takes place when diverse actions, networks, and individuals intersect for impact across sectors and issue silos, global and local contexts, and macro and micro perspectives. Our strategy is to stimulate local and global action and interaction for this transformational change in collaboration with our members and allies.
