Development in Gardening Program

DIG’s programs equip the most marginalized community members, who live far below the poverty line, with skills and resources to grow their own food in sustainable ways, which enhances nutrition, food security and financial resilience, ultimately enabling greater agency and upward mobility.

DIG's human centered design approach to sustainable gardening teaches people to better meet their dietary and economic needs, and because we support their leadership in directing how and what they grow, farmers also harvest a new sense of autonomy and community interdependence.

DIG is unlocking a farmer's ability to break the cycle of hunger so they can harvest a better future.

DIG’s Core Programs:

• Farmer Field Schools
• Indigenous Foods Preservation Project
• Priority Households

DIG’s adaptive program prioritizes uniquely marginalized groups who are often left out of other development opportunities, groups like:

• Elderly Households
• People living with HIV
• Conservation Refugees, (such as the Batwa)
• People Living with Disabilities
• Chronically Malnourished Children
• Young Mothers
• The Ultra Poor
• and others, there are no barriers to participation.
