While the world continues to face hunger, food demand is expected to increase as the world’s population continues to grow.
It's a challenge that can be met. Despite the barriers, we provide the science, tools and partnerships that influence decision making. Our grounding in science and our innovative approach to conservation allow us to scale quickly to achieve system change.
Learn more about how regenerative food systems can be a solution for growing food demands.
Our goal? To conserve nearly 10 billion acres of ocean, 1.6 billion acres of land and 620,000 miles of rivers, all of which contribute to our global food requirements.
We intend to achieve this ambitious goal through new and better-managed protected areas, global-scale sustainable fishing, restoring working lands, innovative financing, partnering with communities and Indigenous peoples, and positive policy changes.
Food For the Future
Climate-Ready Fisheries Can Restore Ocean Health

Foodscapes for People and Nature
So much goes into producing food: physical geography, climate, production practices and how it gets to our plates. We're exploring all of these.
Land and water stewardship can restore health to our food systems.
Food is sustainable when it benefits the environment and maintains soil fertility. We’re fostering innovations in technology, collaborating with communities to use resources more efficiently and promoting policies that enable sustainability. Together, we can secure healthy food and clean water for all people without sacrificing the environment.
