Promote sustainable micro-farming

Through its micro-farming programs in vulnerable regions most affected by climate change, across Asia, Africa and Latin America, the Foundation seeks to bring about social, environmental and economic benefits.

Support education for self-sufficiency

Through education, the Foundation aims to create the conditions for self-reliance among farmers, promote sustainable agricultural practices and train young talents with the potential to change the future of their countries.

Community and environment

Thanks to its community and environment projects, the Foundation aims to help rural communities become self-sufficient and to protect the environment for a more sustainable future.

Act now and for the future

The Foundation’s two dedicated funds respectively support young entrepreneurs in developing countries, and provide assistance to populations affected by unforeseen humanitarian crises.

My vision for the Louis Dreyfus Foundation is to help alleviate hunger and poverty by bringing sustainable solutions to smallholder farmers.
