change from the ground up

GIY support people around the world to live happier, healthier and more sustainable lives by growing some of their own food. GIYers develop what we call food empathy - a deeper connection with food and respect for the people and planet that put it on our tables. Our mission is to inspire and enable a global movement of food growers whose collective actions will help to create a more fair, resilient and sustainable food system.
