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.

Land stewardship is “the most precious resource to ensure the stability and prosperity of billions of people around the world.” Sustainable land management has the power to address today’s global challenges and create a blueprint to a better future on land for all generations.

Smallholder farmers play an increasingly important role in food safety. 80% of food in developing regions is grown by smallholders, and with food demand expected to grow by more than 70% by 2050, there is a clear need to install sustainable food systems that work for these communities.

Dr Haller’s methodology extends throughout all of the work the Haller Foundation carries out today. Here we explore just a few of the ways we’re currently working to restore degraded landscapes and protect the environment.
