100 Million Farmers

Building farmer resilience to achieve a critical tipping point by 2030

Our mission

100 Million Farmers drives a global movement to accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture and climate adaptation practices at the farm level. Our focus is on closing the finance and elevating soil resilience – two critical areas that reinforce each other. By addressing these areas, we aim to enhance access to finance and improve agricultural outcomes which will strengthen sustainable food and agricultural systems worldwide.

Shared global ambition

Engaging 100 Million Farmers – representing nearly one-fifth of the global farming population – is essential for catalyzing change on a global scale. Achieving this ambitious milestone will serve as a tipping point, sparking widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that will create a lasting, positive impact on both agriculture and the environment. 

Our vision includes:

- Unlocking financing and fostering collaboration to accelerate the transition to regenerative and climate-smart agriculture, aiming to reach a critical tipping point by 2030.

- Delivering enhanced outcomes in key areas such as soil health, climate resilience, water conservation, biodiversity, and improved livelihoods for farmers.

Two critical pillars

100 Million Farmers has bold objectives for accelerating the transition towards food and water systems that are net-zero, nature-positive, and that increase farmer resilience. Both objectives are critical to achieve a successful transition. 

Finance and Collaboration: Breakthrough Models

The 100 Million Farmers initiative in close collaboration with Sustainable Finance at the World Economic Forum develops locally relevant innovative models for financing and collaboration to support farmers’ transition to resilient food systems. This approach emphasizes co-designing a financial facilitation network among farmers, financers, and mediating actors. By providing a blended financial approach, farmers are then supported in their pursuit of adopting regenerative agriculture practices without bearing the monetary risk associated with the transition. This is also supports the commitments galvanized through the First Movers Coalition for Food.

Soil matters: A Global Imperative

100 Million Farmers, in collaboration with the Food Innovators Network (FIN) and other like-minded organizations, aims to harness soil health benefits. Healthy soils are crucial for 95% of global food production, providing essential nutrients, water, and support for plant growth, while also reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, lowering costs, and enhancing resilience to climate change. Together, it is possible to preserve and restore soil health for a sustainable future.

With this aim in mind, a Global Future Council on Soils was established in 2025 co-led with the 1t.org initiative to support our combined agenda on sustainable soils and land restoration.
