affected by these environmental problems. This vulnerability is exacerbated by
social and political problems, not allowing those depending on it to move out
of poverty into decent livelihoods. Hivos’s Sustainable Food Systems approach
moves beyond the limitations of focusing on single commodities and individual
farms, and integrates both economic/environmental and social/political
dimensions into its thematic strategy.
The Fundraiser–Sustainable Food Systems

Hivos SEA’s Food thematic team. Drawing
from an expert understanding of Hivos’s organisational values, its global Green
Society strategy, and Hivos SEA’s individual strategic plan for the Food theme,

and works with them to co-create solutions.

opportunities.
