The Foundation works with a home for abused, orphaned and economically disadvantaged babies, girls and young women in Jalapa, Guatemala. Our Agriculture and Nutrition program is holistic- from field to fork- teaching principles of integrated farming such as composting, vermiculture and seed production, and also how to track vitamin intake through an easy to use graphic-based vitamin calendar in the kitchen. The program also models environmental sustainability and economic efficiency in all components of the program, from planting a living fence of fast-growing trees that also provide fodder for animals, to creating a gravity-fed irrigation system, to construction of a seed nursery out of recovered materials found on the home’s property.

Food Gardens for Africa provides support to start up or developing food gardens through starter packs that include training workshops, necessary tools, plant material & education material to thousands of schools & community groups that apply for help. Those that then show commitment are selected and presented to funders for further support. FTFAs decades of experience shows that ideally food gardens need support over 3 years to take them through seasons & ensure participants receive adequate training in horticulture, nutrition & basic business. Projects become self sustaining through effective food production, food cost savings, income generation & sustainable natural resource use & management. Gardeners & their dependents' health improve.

In order to reduce this global epidemic of chronic lifestyle-related diseases The Cookbook Project has developed an effective experiential education curriculum that uses food culture and cooking to teach young people about the connection between nutrition, health, and sustainability. In order to reach the most at-risk youth in both the developed and developing world, The Cookbook Project has created the Local Leaders Training Program which trains community leaders through online and on-site programs to implement The Cookbook Project's unique curriculum.

Women are known as good communicators of household knowledge, including that related to nutrition, foods, food preparation, child care and feeding practices. For that reason, interventions need to include a strong programme of nutrition education and behavior change, targeted principally towards women, in order to ensure that an increase in food supply and income translates into better diets and improved household nutrition.Also providing community-managed revolving fund to provide 4000 goats, rabbits and chickens to rural households, along with training in animal care, intensive nutrition education, iron supplementation and disease control.

Organize 300 women farmers from 10 villages in Pavijetpur tribal block of Vadodara district of Gujarat, India under a producer group. The group will be guided for cultivating food crops in sustainable manner as follows;
•Use of naturally occurring insecticides (e.g. neem tree products), and cultural, mechanical and biological pest and disease control methods
•Balanced use of fertilizers and adopt soil health management practices (e.g. crop rotation)

The food crops, will be marketed in the nearby city of Vadodara. An urban health conceous consumer association will be formed, and the association members will get regular home delivery of the agro produce, following fixed route plan.

Community learning process on the importance of balance nutrients through freshly prepared or freshly cooked food should be facilitated. Institutional designing and building is necessary as the main prerequisites for community-level management of the backyard gardens and the kitchen. Technologies for backyard farming of crops and livestock should be demonstrated and practiced. Main infrastructure and equipment for the new activities, e.g. livestock farming and community kitchen, should be provided. Recruitment of necessary practicioners from inside or outside the community should be formulated in a participatory fashion. Additional funding should be self-sustained from income-generating activities, e.g. selling excess products/material.
