HEALTHY AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES

We want to enable vibrant and sustainable communities in countries where
employment and food security are greater needs. With global and local partners
we work together using sustainable farming methods, vocational training and
entrepreneurship

To make a change, we as Global Food Garden have focused on cooperation, meaning
to work together as a network, bringing in expertise from many different fields
connected to food production and processing, entrepreneurship and training.
Together we have focused on:

LOCAL PARTNERS

Global Food Garden identifies and trains local entrepreneurs who have a vision,
but also the capacity large enough to aspire for change in their region, their
country, and even their entire continent. Our local partners are native
entrepreneurs who built successful business activities in their respective
countries on their own initiative, strength and financial resources. They
emphasize on training young people, often coming from a poverty background. Our
local partners are locally rooted, have worked faithfully on their projects for
years and have experience in vegetable cultivation.



NETWORK

Global Food Garden has access to a large network of project partners,
organizations and specialists with expertise and knowledge in specific areas
concerning food systems.



FOOD SYSTEMS

To improve food security in a certain region, the whole value chain of food
production must be taken into consideration, starting from basics like farming
knowledge, water, seeds and fertilizer on to the production, the processing and
selling of the produced goods.



VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Looking at entire food systems helps to identify areas where local solutions can
be implemented, opening opportunities to train local people in various skills.
We strive to set up local training possibilities for quality vocational
training.



ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Our partners have to become self-sustaining in what they do. Entrepreneurship
skills are vital for them to be successful in a long run. These skills help them
to understand their customers, to see new opportunities and to market and sell
their produce.



STRUCTURE

We are building a partnership structure that connects the local level to a
regional, national and global level. The goal is to give the best support on a
local level, to help our partners to become more independent on a national
level, but also to learn from one another on a global level.




THE TOOLS THAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO WORK TOWARDS THIS OVERWHELMINGLY HUGE GOAL
ARE:

FARMING TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS

Global Food Garden has experience in water-saving vegetable cultivation
independent of soil quality and rainy seasons (hydroponics and aquaponics).



SMART SUSTAINABLE FARMING ONLINE COURSES

Our recurring online course offers a 6-12 months training about water saving
methods in vegetable cultivation, farming principles, entrepreneurship, food
processing, business growth and how to pass on the acquired knowledge to new
network partners.



TRAINING HUBS

Training hubs combine innovative technologies, knowledge and experience from
different areas of food systems. In addition to conducting applied research,
they train people in the various food professions, adapted to the respective
country. We support our local partners by empowering them to start and build
their training centres, so that local people can start profiting from their
service and become entrepreneurs themselves.



COACHING AND MENTORING

We work with our local partners to see them grow and being empowered to bring
sustainable change to their communities.



PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

We assist our local partners with project management and business skill
development, helping them to become successful leaders and champions of Local,
Regional and National Food Gardens, while we connect them on the Global Food
Garden level.
