The mission at Growers First is to improve their growers' quality of life by allowing the communitie
s to define and prioritize their own needs. Health care one of the essential needs they've identified, so Growers First sends mobile medical & dental clinics to remote areas that have no other access to medical attention; these provide treatment, preventative care instruction, even pastoral and counseling services. Another essential need is child education, so Growers First helps equip village children with educational support and teaching aids. As the saying goes, it's a hand up, not a handout and it's humanitarianism we love to get behind.

In the developing world, unsustainable farming is causing rampant deforestation as farmers must cont
inuously abandon their plots and convert new land to agricultural use. Growers First is using sustainable farming practices to help prove to the world that what's best for the environment can also be best for the farmer. Take organic farming, which avoids the pesticides and fertilizers that leach out of industrial farms, while providing farmers a 25% price premium. Or intercropping (growing carbon-fixing plants alongside the primary crop), which reduces a farm's carbon footprint and increases crop yield. These initiatives show that environmental stewardship can be an investment in our well-being, not a sacrifice. Go Growers First!

Growers First partners with each community to help them establish their needs and build a strategic
plan toward change; it's about empowerment, not charity. That's why they establish grower cooperatives, which increase profits and do much, much more: they create local jobs and market power, increase social equity and self-governance, and even help keep families together. Growers First always ensures women receive equal compensation and representation, which increases reinvestment of profits into the family. It's all part of building a brighter future, one community at a time.
