These factors steer how we work to strengthen global agricultural markets. But, you don’t have to take our word for it. Learn more about individual projects below.

MALAWI / CAT

Center for Agricultural Transformation

Establishing a hub to catalyze Malawi’s agricultural growth

Venture37, the University of Minnesota, Stellenbosch University and Malawi University of Science and Technology have forged an innovative partnership to establish CAT — a central agricultural hub funded by the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World. By leveraging our core partners’ scientific, technological and agribusiness expertise and deep regional connections, CAT will forge integrated research-to-impact pathways that reduce productivity gaps between men and women, and foster diversified, resilient and health smallholder households - particularly those transitioning from tobacco farming to alternative livelihoods.
