LaGuardia Foundation promotes community development, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy through local programs with global impact. The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa aims to achieve food security in Africa by promoting smallholder farmers through improved seeds, soils, access to markets and information, and supportive policies. It has $400 million in funding and targets reducing food insecurity in 20 countries and doubling incomes for 20 million families by 2020.

2. The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) works to achieve a food secure and prosperous Africa through the promotion of rapid, sustainable agricultural growth based on smallholder farmers. AGRA aims to ensure that the smallholders who produce most of Africa ’s food, in their majority women, have what they need to succeed: good seeds and healthy soils; access to markets, information, financing, storage and transport; and policies that provide them with comprehensive support. Founded in 2006 with funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, AGRA today has US$ 400 M in funding. Mr. Kofi A. Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Chairs AGRA ’s Board. AGRA ’s three main goals for 2020 are to: Reduce food insecurity by 50 percent in at least 20 countries Double the incomes of 20 million smallholder families Put at least 15 countries on track for attaining and sustaining a uniquely African Green Revolution: one which supports smallholder farmers, protects the environment, and helps farmers adapt to climate change.
