AgMission™ Grant Aims to Improve Climate-Smart Farming Adoption 

Year Awarded  2022

FFAR award amount   $150,000

Total award amount   $400,000

Location   Federal Way, WA

Program   AgMission

Matching Funders   Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture and World Vision

Grantee Institution   World Vision

Climate change is threatening agriculture globally, and small-scale farmers in low- and middle-income countries are particularly vulnerable. To strengthen their resilience, FFAR and Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture (SFSA) awarded a $300,000 competitive grant to World Vision through AgMission, an initiative co-created by FFAR and the World Farmers’ Organisation to unlock agriculture’s potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This joint investment will enable in-depth examination of small-scale farmer adoption of climate-smart agriculture in India, Kenya and Bangladesh.
