Food Security
Winrock improves Food Security and nutrition by transforming the way food is produced, sold and consumed. Our approach to Food Security is built around principles championed by Winrock International founding board member Norman Borlaug, who sought to elevate smallholder farmers out of hunger and poverty through the use of agriculture science. Smallholder farmers face constant challenges posed by changing weather patterns and the need to improve productivity to keep pace with ongoing increases in population and prosperity. We help smallholder farmers increase productivity, foster entrepreneurship and gain access to resources, markets and services. We work with households and communities to address social, cultural and economic barriers to good nutrition. To ensure the sustainability of our Food Security interventions, we build the capacity of governments to deliver important services, mobilize private sector investments in food systems and facilitate an inclusive, enabling environment for agricultural transformation. Resilience depends upon efficient delivery systems for information, products and services. For all Services and Solutions, click here.
