Our vision is a bright future for smallholder farming. Our mission is to strengthen smallholder farming and food systems. We catalyze market development and delivery of innovations while building capacity across the public and private sectors. The Syngenta Foundation operates across product streams following a pipeline approach. Our current streams are: - Agriservices - Risk Management and Financial Inclusion for smallholder farmers, implementing and scaling up affordable agricultural insurance products and risk transfer mechanism to access credit - Access to Seeds, which includes investments in plant breeding and technology transfer of new varieties to smallholders Running across these three, and feeding into each of them, is our work in R&D and in Policy. The operational strategy of the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture focuses on smallholders, productivity, and markets. The Foundation works with partners in developing countries and emerging markets. Our aim is to help small farmers become more professional growers. We do this by extending science-based know-how, facilitating access to quality inputs, and linking smallholders to markets in profitable ways. This adds value to rural communities, and sustainably improves food security. By helping small farmers become more professional growers, we want to achieve added value for rural communities and improve food security in sustainable ways.
