Our Causes
Grow to Market serves stakeholders who are leading efforts to promote food systems serving all class of consumers. We seek partners and funders who will co-invest in these causes.
Food & Nutrition
Grow to Market (GTM) is dedicated to ensuring that all consumers have better access to nutritious foods by driving transformative improvements across the entire food system. We are committed to enhancing food safety through targeted training programs that empower food businesses to minimize contamination risks, reduce food loss, and waste, and ensure the highest standards of quality.
Our focus on developing nutrient-dense value chains, combined with our strong advocacy for healthy diets—particularly for women and children—underscores our mission to foster a healthier, more resilient food system that benefits everyone. Through these efforts, GTM aims to create a sustainable and inclusive food environment that supports the well-being of all communities.
Entrepreneurship & Innovation
GTM fosters inclusive economic growth in rural communities by accelerating the development of small- and medium-sized food enterprises that connect smallholder farmers to broader markets. By collaborating with aggregators, processors, distributors, retailers, and other key agribusiness players, GTM strengthens business-to-business linkages across the supply chain, from the farm gate to the consumer’s table. This network helps smallholder farmers access new opportunities and expand their reach.
This approach enhances smallholder livelihoods by providing better market access and bolsters their capacity to deliver safe, nutritious food to consumers. Ultimately, GTM contributes to improved food security and economic resilience in these communities, building a more sustainable food system.
Climate Resiliency & Regeneration
GTM champions the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advancing regenerative agriculture. These efforts are crucial for addressing climate change and promoting environmental health. By integrating innovative solutions, GTM helps farmers and businesses not only lower their carbon footprint but also restore and revitalize ecosystems.
This approach supports the creation of resilient, sustainable food systems that can adapt to changing environmental conditions while maintaining productivity. Through these initiatives, GTM plays a pivotal role in fostering agricultural practices that benefit both people and the planet, ensuring long-term food security and ecological balance.
