About FarmStory

FarmStory is a global community and movement that hinges on the power of storytelling to unlock systems leadership for community farmers.

Launched during the “2021 Food Systems Game Changers Lab” to empower and connect community farmers through storytelling, FarmStory has been on a mission to transform food systems around the globe.

FarmStory invites community farmers everywhere to share their successes, innovative solutions, achievements, contributions, and community-minded collaborations, as well as their hardships and failures on FarmStory’s platform, for all to learn from and celebrate.

Our hope is that, with the aid of the FarmStory platform, communities around the world will experience increased social cohesion and equity, regenerative farming methods, and innovative solutions to climate change.

Vision

We envision a collaborative leadership network on a global scale, where synergies amongst community farmers promote social cohesion, inspire innovative solutions to food security and climate change, and enhance local policy initiatives.

Mission

Compelled by the intensifying global food systems crisis and inspired by resilient communities that practice regenerative farming practices and circular economy, our mission is to strengthen communities by fostering inclusive, collaborative leadership amongst community farmers, on a global scale, and by supporting equitable improvements in local water use, access to land, farming practices, markets, supply chains, and diets.

To do this, we harvest, share, and amplify:

We gather stories from communities, highlighting community farmers as they plant, tend, nourish, harvest, bring their products to market, and benefit from the proceeds.

We make the harvested stories available to other community farmers in order to bring to light the innovations and challenges they experience as inspiration to others.
We amplify the messages in the stories, from hardships to solutions, to ensure that knowledge of the most local element of the food system reaches a wider audience, beyond local borders, to reach policy makers.
