How Roots of Peace Benefits Global Communities

​Roots of Peace teaches farmers from countries impacted by war to grow crops with higher yields and greater financial value. Its staff sources the equipment, training, and chemicals needed to prepare the land, as well as farmers to grow the crops. Throughout the process, beneficiaries use techniques that promote environmental sustainability.

In addition, Roots of Peace installs equipment for packaging, preserving, and transporting goods. The organization connects farmers with local, nationwide, and even global markets so they can export their crops to the countries with the highest demand.

This holistic approach enables Roots of Peace to create lasting change. Because the organization targets subsistence farmers who primarily grow wheat, a crop with low profits that harms the land in the long term, it maximizes the impact of its programs on local economies and families. The new profits allow farm families to afford better health care and let their children attend school rather than work at home.
