Since 1944, we have helped more than 59 million families lift themselves out of hunger and poverty by providing livestock, training, tools and education.

Today at #COP17, Heifer Ecuador’s 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐧 joined leaders to explore how nature-based businesses can protect biodiversity and create opportunities for local communities, helping farming families build sustainable livelihoods.

#Bioeconomy #Biodiversity

[Heifer International @Heifer]

A takeaway from @theGEF and @UNDPbiofin sessions at #COP17: Farmers need finance, markets and technical support to make conservation economically viable and strengthen livelihoods.

Investing in local leadership helps farmers and nature thrive.

#Biodiversity #FarmerLed

[Heifer International @Heifer]

Protecting biodiversity and improving farmer livelihoods can go hand in hand.

At COP17, a shared priority comes into focus: resilient food systems that support healthy ecosystems and the people who steward them.

Nothing about farmers without farmers. 🌱
Rasmita Muduli, a smallholder farmer from Odisha, brought her voice to AgriVoltaics World Conference 2026.

Our Agri-PV model puts farmers at the heart of the energy transition.

Coffee and chocolate are first met by the hands of farmers.

In Ecuador, Jessica Orellana more than doubled her cacao harvest with support from @HeiferEcuador, helping pay for her daughter’s university education.

Can it scale?
At #ClimateWeekNYC, our very own @dbhandariLR pitched a plan to train 3,000 women and youth as agro-vet entrepreneurs, bringing animal health and climate-smart services to 1.5M smallholder households.

Scalability = farmer value + local capacity + markets + finance.

7 women. 6 countries. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. 🌎
Women produce 24% less than men on farms of the same size due to unequal access to key resources.

Closing that gap, along with the wage gap, could help feed 𝟒𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 more people. 📎 https://t.co/fapzTHw97i

Science matters—but science alone doesn’t create scale.

At #ScienceSummit2026, Heifer’s Mark Chandler shared the smallholder farmer perspective: low-emission livestock solutions must meet farmers’ needs and connect to technical support, markets, partnerships and finance.
