In alignment with the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal
13 (SDG 13) on “Climate Action” and AGCO’s purpose to deliver
“farmer-focused solutions to sustainably feed our world,” the
Foundation is accepting grant applications on climate action in
agriculture. The AAF grant application platform, through its
community investment software partner, Benevity, is running the
application cycle from February 21 to March 30. This program
strengthens AAF commitment to its strategic focus areas and AGCO’s
Farmer-First strategy while addressing global trends on climate
change adaptation and mitigation.
The Foundation’s first grant application cycle for 2022 seeks
new project proposals from non-profits that combine various
sustainable methods to tackle the specific climate change-related
challenges of today’s farming communities.
“Climate change is impacting farmers’ livelihoods and our global
food supply,” said Metti Richenhagen, Director, AGCO Agriculture
Foundation. “Through our current AAF grant funding, we want to
support projects, initiatives and innovations that help farmers and
farming communities mitigate and build resilient agriculture
practices against climate change, improve livelihoods and transform
food systems to sustainably feed the world.”
Grant eligible non-profit organizations must focus on climate
action in the agricultural context that also aligns with any of the
AAF thematic focus areas such as Nutrition & Sustainable Food
Systems, Agricultural Education, Research and Innovation, and
Farmer Community Development. The aim is to implement projects that
promote sustainable climate solutions for farmers and the
agricultural sector to benefit economies while also strengthening
community development.
