Over 20 years, the challenges facing the smallholder communities Haller was set up to serve have shifted and evolved. But our approach remains rooted in a mission to bring together ecology and economy.

Dr Rene Haller is featured in ‘102 Holes in the Ground’, a new book providing case studies of repurposing mine sites and rejuvenating mining communities by rebuilding ecological integrity and enhancing livelihoods.

Amidst the escalating impacts of climate change in East Africa, the Haller Farmers App, launched by the Haller Foundation, emerges as a vital resource. Focused on nature-based solutions, the app imparts over 50 years of farming expertise, promoting climate-smart planting and the cultivation of indigenous crops to enhance land and soil quality. Embracing sustainability, it encourages innovative practices like using recycled materials as planters. Beyond environmental benefits, the app contributes to community resilience by diversifying food supplies, fostering economic stability, and preparing the next generation for sustainable farming practices, offering a tangible response to the urgent challenges posed by climate change in the region.
