In different parts of the world, people have different experiences with food
While some people go to bed with empty stomachs in their nights, there are also people with overweight and obesity.
Meanwhile,
human population is growing.
We face the challenges to produce food and to ensure enough and stable access to utilize the food for everyone.

Yet, food issues are multidimensional. Our food and agriculture system is intertwined, which makes it more complex.
Countless challenges make the most prominent actor, i.e. farmers, especially outside high income countries, experience injustice.
Our concern comes from the fact that land, as one of the most limited yet essential resources to produce food, is getting degraded and limited.
The evolution of agriculture practice has put our lands into its limit to produce food. The fertile lands where we can grow food is decreasing.

More arable lands are converted to nonagricultural purposes. Leading to worse competition between food, energy, and other provisions.

We have a different idea:
To work with lands that are often forgotten, those people deemed as unproductive
Enter suboptimal lands.
We have seen cases that we can unlock the potential of suboptimal lands for food production.
Therefore, we work on the following aspects to achieve the end goals.
To ensure everyone can eat, we cannot focus only on the production.
We have to work hard to achieve the objective of the bigger picture and to progress more into sustainability.
First, we work on where the food can grow. Cultivation of suboptimal lands should be leveraged for sufficient food production.
Although it is often deemed as unsuitable, there are strategies to support sustainable food crop production in suboptimal lands.

Our works focus on improving agriculture practice in the different types of suboptimal land.

Second, we work on the off-field, on how the food can reach people.
After being harvested on fields, foods have to travel far away to reach the people. During the journey, many things can affect people’s capability to access the food.
This involves the need to fix the food and agriculture system, step-by-step.

Lastly, we work to ensure that the people can have the access to utilize food at all times. We are not dealing only with the current situation but also the future.
We need to strengthen the food and agriculture systems so that we can keep on living. This mainly includes dealing with the core of the system, i.e. the human.
