Sustainable Agriculture



Winrock is committed to transforming the lives of small- and mid-size sustainable producers through value-added strategies. Winrock has expertise in aggregating smaller producers, facilitating access to credit and financing sources, and brokering links between producers and buyers. Winrock also focuses on helping small- and medium-size producers become market ready.

Cooperative development and supply chain expansion projects are the foundation of our sustainable agriculture program.

Projects include: providing technical assistance and support for sweet potato farmers, poultry producers, and fruit and vegetable producers; encouraging diversification from traditional crops; building capacity among historically underserved producers; and strengthening relationships between producers and mid- to large-scale and institutional buyers for local and regional food systems.
