Mission

We are a small organisation with 35 years experience accompanying partners, communities and movements in Africa, South America, Asia and Europe. Often credited as 'punching above our weight', our small team and global network works to revive bio-cultural diversity, to regenerate healthy ecosystems and to strengthen community self-governance for climate change resilience. We work all over the world and apply a holistic approach to addressing the root causes of our converging crises, triggered by the industrial growth society.

What We Do

Accompany small-scale, family farmers to enhance their indigenous knowledge and seed varieties in order to safeguard diversity for generations to come and connect with the growing food sovereignty movement.
Encourage communities to reconnect with their ancestral lands and sacred natural sites and thereby to regain confidence in their customary laws and governance systems and connect with each other to defend their sacred lands.
Protect regenerative livelihoods, biodiversity and water systems from the impact of mining and related threats by building solidarity amongst local communities and social movements as they stand up to defend life.
