Fair World Project Announces Grow Ahead!

So we can all invest in our future Fair World Project launched a new program, Grow Ahead: Crowdfunding for Climate Resilience.
Over the last four years, Fair World Project (FWP) has focused on the intersection between small-scale farmers, agroecology and climate change. In 2015 we produced "Small-Scale Farmers Cool the Planet." Later that year, we collaborated with the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Fair Trade Small Producers (CLAC) in a contest asking small-scale farmer groups to share their experiences and best practices in confronting climate change in their communities. Discover their stories in the "Climate Change: Voices of Small Producers" report. 
Building on this success, FWP is launching Grow Ahead, an online lending and funding program that connects individuals and organizations directly to small-scale family farmer organizations. By lending and contributing through Grow Ahead, consumers and organizations can support the agroecological solutions and farmer-led trainings that have a proven track record of success in farming communities.
Grow Ahead and FWP will focus on:
*
Facilitating a revolving loan program for farmer-developed resiliency projects, such as soil conservation and yield-boosting compost operations.
  
*
Raising funds for annual regional Farmer to Farmer exchanges to facilitate farm leaders’ ability to share successes and resources through these exchanges. They will also produce written and multimedia resources, encapsulating farmer experiences and "takeaways" to share with other farmers.
  
*
Providing funds and resources for farm leader agroecology scholarships. Grow Ahead will raise funds earmarked specifically to provide scholarships for farm leaders and trainers to attend farmer-centric agroecology schools.
