The announcement comes on the heels of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos’ recent tweet asking followers where he should donate his growing net worth.

At its core, our work emphasizes the short term impact of ending hunger coupled with the long term impact of stabilizing the climate. You can have your healthy environment and eat it too!
By addressing the urgent needs of family farmers (food to eat, steady incomes!) we can meet the long term needs of our planet (sequestering carbon in the soil, saving tropical forests, and protecting biodiversity!).
