About the Global Harvest Initiative

Global Harvest Initiative's mission is to sustainably double agricultural output and improve storage and distribution to eliminate the global productivity gap. Global Harvest Initiative believes innovation in agriculture from production through distribution will make it possible to feed the world of 2050. Achieving this monumental task requires embracing all production practices, including conventional and organic agriculture, for producers of all sizes, ranging from subsistence farmers to large modern producers. It also requires substantial focus and investment from both public and private entities.

The Founding Members
The Global Harvest Initiative was founded by Archer Daniels Midland Company, DuPont, John Deere and Monsanto Company, but others who support these common goals are welcome. These companies already invest more than $9 million a day in research and development, but even more substantial efforts by both public and private sectors will be required. Global Harvest is dedicated to spur the development and sharing of agricultural innovation with those that need it most. We support policies that support agricultural research, continued liberalization of food and agricultural trade, and improved U.S. foreign assistance. We are partnering with a diverse group of thought-leaders and institutions that share our future vision and commitment to global action.

Working together, we can meet the global demands of 2050 while responsibly caring for our Earth.
