New Vision for Agriculture

The New Vision for Agriculture (NVA) is a World Economic Forum initiative aiming to simultaneously improve food security, environmental sustainability, and economic opportunity by 20% per decade until 2050. The initiative utilizes market-based, multistakeholder partnerships to catalyze investment and innovation. To date, NVA has mobilized over US $10 billion in investment commitments, with US $1.2 billion implemented, reaching more than 3.6 million smallholder farmers across 16 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Key regional platforms include Grow Africa, which has reached 2.9 million smallholders, and Grow Asia, which aims to reach 10 million smallholders by 2020.
