Looking to the future: Haller’s 2022 Impact Report
Over the last few years Haller has experienced significant growth and adaptation, reflecting global changes we have all experienced. The Haller Foundation has successfully weathered the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme drought conditions in East Africa exacerbated by a growing climate emergency.
Despite these challenges, over this period Haller Kenya was able to become both financially and operationally self-sufficient, enabling Haller UK to embark on a new journey. Focus from Haller UK has now shifted to scaling Haller’s legacy and ethos to communities and ecosystems globally. Combining the power of people and technology to share sustainable livelihood solutions with communities and farmers around the world, supporting them to build resilience against the challenges they face.
There are an estimated 500 million smallholder farmers at the heart of our global agricultural industry, with more than 2 billion people depending on them for their livelihoods. However, the majority still have little knowledge of their choices around organic, climate-smart, and localised farming techniques. To compound matters, the ramifications of climate change have resulted in escalating unpredictability in rainfall patterns and yields. Furthermore, too many farmers live on depleted or degraded land, far removed from the reach of agricultural extension workers and their invaluable information and support services.
The impact that our team has been able to drive in Kenya is testament not only to their incredible capacity to drive change, but also to the fact that there is hope for the future of smallholder farming.
