The Rural Advancement Foundation International- USA is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization which promotes sustainability, equity, and diversity in agriculture through policy changes, practical assistance, market opportunities, and access to resources. We trace our roots back to the 1930Ős, and we continue to address issues of agriculture from the local to global levels. RAFI- USA plays a leadership role in responding to major agricultural trends and creating a movement of farm, environmental and consumer groups to:

  • Promote sustainable agriculture,
  • Strengthen family farms and rural communities,
  • Protect the diversity of plants, animals, and people in agriculture, and
  • Ensure responsible use of new technologies.
