About this organization
Mission
Groundswell International strengthens communities to build healthy farming and food systems from the ground up. We are a partnership of local organizations and their network of grassroots community groups. Groundswell works in West Africa, the Americas and South Asia. Our programs catalyze the transition from unsustainable agriculture and extractive economies to regenerative, just farming and local food systems. Communities and family farmers improve their well being, produce more abundant and nourishing food in ecologically sustainable ways, increase their incomes, build resilience to climate change, and strengthen local economies and cultures.
About
Groundswell's programs address the root causes of food insecurity, economic vulnerability, and social marginalization with a practical, "learning by doing" approach that builds participants' confidence while meeting their basic needs. When people see the changes they are bringing about, it empowers them, and soon they become the lead actors in improving their own lives. We work closely with local partner organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, and West Africa. While each regional program design responds to its unique people and context, Groundswell's core program services focus on: -Building the capacity of those who participate in our programs to analyze their situation, identify existing problems, examine the various alternatives to overcome these problems, and then choose, plan, and implement the best solutions.
