Frank was the first to raise his hand and try something new.

When you’re working in ag development, sometimes it’s tough to convince people to do things differently. When their parents and grandparents and generations of kin all farmed a certain way, choosing to shake things up can be scary.

But Frank has shown a willingness to try..

In our prosperity, may we never forget that food supply chains are more fragile than many think, stay humble in acknowledging God's daily provision, and keep supporting the farmers willing to grow food and keep life going.

On his most recent trip to East Africa, Director of Investments James Noronha recorded a quick video of a thriving chicken operation in southern Zambia where our funding community you’ve had a big impact...

Born in 1914 in Iowa, Norman Borlaug was an American agronomist who developed high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties that revolutionized agriculture and saved millions of lives.

“Shortly after the fine was reduced, I was invited to a party. I’ve lived in Kyrgyzstan for ten years but I didn’t really get the significance of the event until the host gathered his guests and shared his story,” Micah said. “The man explained he had barely escaped a near-fatal car accident weeks prior..."

The Joseph Project attendees got a walkthrough of Oasis Agro’s latest mobile chicken houses, and they’re looking slick...

AgGrandize is a partnering organization because we know the best work happens when we rely on one another, building trust, and one man we’ve learned to trust and relied on over the years is Dave Kier.  

The Joseph Project (JP) is a collaborative effort between AgGrandize Global and our friends at Dutch Nature, and each year we gather to celebrate all we see God doing in Central Asia, particularly through agricultural impact. Here are a few of our favorite moments from the gathering earlier this month...

Thanks to all Joseph Project attendees as well as the staff, partners, and volunteers who made it possible. It’s no small feat, managing the logistics for an event like this in a fairly obscure city, but teamwork made the dream work, as they say! So grateful, and stay tuned for more moments from this Joseph Project…

It's an incredible joy to be part of work that leads to mutual, all-around flourishing for yourself and your neighbors. Thanks to all of you who've donated, invested, or volunteered to make that kind of work possible!

After this crop, the funds will be recycled for future crops, with the profit going to sustain apprentice tuition and expenses. Thank you for investing in sustainable farm development projects like these!

The young farmer was kind enough to host our team for tea in his home (his mother’s baking was delicious), and then he gave us a tour of his ag business outside the ancient city of Samarkand.

On a visit to our partners in Zambia, Heartlands, and their beautiful discipleship and agricultural training school called Ebenezer, we noticed some of the students swatting and throwing rocks at something in the main hen house.

The people in these images above have said they want to move away from aid handouts and toward something more sustainable. They want to produce their own food so they can keep orphans and widows safe in their community, and that’s a next step that excites us!

On a farm outside the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, men are finding Kingdom hope through farm work as they struggle to overcome addictions and rebuild their life…

I worked in the railway industry for decades, but that wasn’t as natural as this. Something about farming, it’s inborn for me, it’s who I am. I wanted to get away from the city and to enjoy a quieter life, and farming has made that possible. Thank you for coming to see what we do here.

Maroof nearly had to leave home to provide for his family, but your giving enables farmers like Maroof to stay, earn a living, and live and work alongside their family.

The initial fine was for $1.5 million, a staggering amount that no government official was able to fully explain or justify. The tax would have meant shutting down operations…

This is why our mostly-volunteer team of ag mentors provides 120+ hours of mentoring assistance to farmers around the world every month…

We believe in help that lasts because we’ve seen how often nonprofit work doesn’t. Before starting AgGrandize, our team spent years doing other work in countries around the world, and we had a front row seat to a lot of unsustainable, unhelpful work that just didn’t last.

So how do we increase the chances that our programming will go the distance and actually be sustainable?
