Healthy, good food results in healthy people that create a thriving healthy community. Grow Strong is empowering community based organizations, local partners, and families to use local resources and traditional knowledge to revive local food security. 

Grow Strong works towards:

  • Reviving self-sufficient, cooperative rural livelihoods free from poverty, hunger and disease.
  • Sustainably producing food and useful crops by using local resources and traditional knowledge. 
  • Promoting a nutritious locally grown diet sufficient for good health.
  • Conserving biodiversity and reviving the natural and diverse ecosystems.

Grow Strong recognizes that communities that were once stable in providing food for themselves as well creating a surplus are facing chronic levels of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. The mainstream approach to global food security has not helped and have in many ways exacerbated the problem!

We believe that many lasting solutions to poverty lie within these affected communities and their local resources and this is the first place to start. At Grow Strong we know that there are valuable lessons to be retaught and relearned from traditional wisdom and applying these lessons can provide effective solutions to the food insecurity situation.

It is high time we played a part in helping communities thrive! Join us so that together, we Grow Strong.
