Food First is working to eliminate the injustices that cause hunger.  Programs include:
--Research for Action: The goal of Food First’s research work is to generate information and analysis for food sovereignty—locally and globally.

--Education for Change: Food First publications are widely used in university courses and by community groups around the world. Food First has published over 60 books, with translations in 22 languages worldwide.

--Projects for Transformation: Food First is not just a “think tank.”  We also support community-based projects around the world that are creating real change for real people. Through our Campaign for the Restoration and Conservation of Pollinators, we work with peasant farmers in Central Mexico to spread knowledge about sustainable agriculture through community radio programs and farmer-to-farmer networks. In West Africa, Food First supports the We are the Solution Campaign, a campaign led by small farmers and women to spread agroecological knowledge and advocate for policies that support family farming—not large-scale industrial agriculture.
