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 Global Harvest Initiative is dedicated to spurring 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. The public-private partnership enlists the help of members from throughout the food chain, including Archer Daniels Midland Company, Conservation International, DuPont, International Conservation Caucus Foundation, John Deere, Monsanto, TransFarm Africa Corridors Network, and World Wildlife Fund.. Global Harvest Initiative seeks additional partners that share our future vision and commitment to global action. Further support is welcome from public and private sectors entities sharing the goal of closing the global productivity gap.

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