Rural poverty

American farmers have their challenges, but American society has resources to work with that not every nation has. "Plant with Purpose" works to provide tools and resources that the rural poor around the world can use to lift themselves out of poverty.



Productive land and accessible water are essential. When the environment becomes degraded (example: loss of trees, land becoming desert, rain run-off), the land may stop creating a living and families may have to separate to find work.

"Plant with Purpose" links sustainable farming with environmental restoration for long-term results. Their partnering farmers heal the land, grow more food, and earn income.
