Our Mission
As a global collaborative network, we are on a mission to transform agriculture to secure a sustainable future for food, nature, and rural communities
We believe in the power of farmers, business, government and non-profits working together to effect the profound change our world needs. We believe farming can be climate smart, deforestation free and pollinator friendly. We believe in protecting water, air, forests and biodiversity. We believe in the inalienable rights of all human beings to be treated fairly. We believe we can transform agriculture for the greater good of all.
More than 20 years of experience in over 40 countries and 100 crops
SAN provides innovative, practical and credible agricultural solutions to some of the most pressing environmental and social problems of our time.
The challenges our planet faces are huge and growing fast; from climate change and biodiversity destruction to child labor and workers’ rights, our world is at risk in many ways. At SAN we see clear opportunities to transform agriculture, from the farms themselves, up and through the associated agricultural value chains; we are an accelerator of the positive change that is needed.
​
SAN is a global impact network made of a diversity of independent organizations across the world. Taking advantage of our nature as a global impact network, SAN's strategy is to support collaborative actions by becoming an effective orchestrator of multiple stakeholder partnerships with a shared purpose.
Our vision is a world where sustainable agriculture is the foundation of thriving and resilient rural landscapes and livelihoods.
We work directly with farmers, companies, donors and other organizations to accelerate and deepen the positive impact we can make as partners on a journey of change.
