ABOUT ORGANIZATION:

The Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (SAF), formerly known as the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture (SFSA), boasts a remarkable 40-year legacy as a Swiss-based not-for-profit organization. Our unwavering commitment centers around a compelling vision: “a world in which smallholders, communities, and nature thrive together.” We deliver demand-led innovations in agriculture, ensuring sustainable market access. Since 2011, our Bangladesh office has spearheaded groundbreaking projects across agriculture, climate change, risk mitigation, carbon offset, nutrition, and rural economic development. These initiatives have positively impacted over a million smallholder farmers through strategic collaborations with local, regional, and international partners.
In July 2024, SFSA Bangladesh underwent a transformative rebranding, emerging as the “Sustainable Agriculture Foundation Bangladesh (SAF Bangladesh).” As a legacy organization of the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture, we remain steadfast in our mission “scaling up collective action on markets and innovations so that farming can better serve smallholder families, rural communities, and nature”. Our ongoing and upcoming projects continue to enhance smallholder farming and agrifood systems in Bangladesh. Join us in shaping a sustainable future—one where agriculture thrives, communities flourish, and nature prospers.

ABOUT PROJECT:

Now, the partnership is continued with Sustainable Agriculture Foundation Bangladesh instead of Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture. The goal of the NICE project is to improve the health and nutrition of city populations, with a particular focus on women and youth. It will facilitate multi-sectoral action for nutrition, foster local public-private partnerships, and introduce social business models to strengthen the demand and supply of local, nutritious, agroecological foods. The project is implemented in selected secondary cities in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Rwanda. To learn more, please visit nice.ethz.ch
