Where We Work

Feed the Future Partnering for Innovation

By building partnerships with private sector companies to help them sell goods and services to smallholders, Partnering for Innovation is changing the landscape for agricultural businesses in emerging markets and empowering the private sector to raise incomes and reduce hunger. We worked with 59 partners in 20 countries, investing more than $43 million in new technologies and services, leveraging nearly $100 million in private sector investment, and selling $99 million worth of products and services to 1.4 million smallholder farmers, enabling them to boost production, raise incomes, and increase food security. Learn more about our partners. Highlights to date:

• Expanded smallholder farmers’ access to inputs by establishing three retail stores in Mozambique through a partnership with Tecnologia e Consultoria Agro-Pecuaria (TECAP) and selling $3 million in products and services through trained agents in regional hubs.
• Introduced and sold more than $320,000 worth of biological control products to smallholders in Guatemala, reducing farmers’ reliance on harmful agrochemicals, and allowing them to meet export market requirements through a partnership with Popoyán.

Feed the Future Enabling Environment for Food Security

The Feed the Future Enabling Environment for Food Security (EEFS) project is USAID’s premier global technical assistance provider helping shape enabling environment strategies in support of the U.S. Government’s Global Food Security Strategy.

Working closely with USAID/Washington and Missions, the project delivers short- to long-term technical and analytical support to address legal, regulatory, and market constraints to food security. A robust knowledge management strategy expands the evidence base and promotes the exchange of good enabling environment reform practices.

For a full list of EEFS resources, please see our Agrilinks activity page. To see a recent example of the project’s technical work, please see our analytical guidance document on animal source food market system success.
