Improving food security through sustainable micro-farming and education

My vision for the Louis Dreyfus Foundation is to help alleviate hunger and poverty by bringing sustainable solutions to smallholder farmers.

What we do

Promote sustainable micro-farming

Through its micro-farming programs in vulnerable regions most affected by climate change, across Asia, Africa and Latin America, the Foundation seeks to bring about social, environmental and economic benefits.

What we do

Support education for self-sufficiency

Through education, the Foundation aims to create the conditions for self-reliance among farmers, promote sustainable agricultural practices and train young talents with the potential to change the future of their countries.

What we do

Act now and
for the future

The Foundation’s two dedicated funds respectively support young entrepreneurs in developing countries, and provide assistance to populations affected by unforeseen humanitarian crises.

One of our key objectives is to prevent child labor. We believe that raising awareness of the benefits of education as an alternative, creates positive change.
