Cultivating Change Programme
The world is facing multiple, connected, and worsening crises. Unjust and unsustainable food systems are failing to deliver food and nutrition security, living incomes and decent working conditions for increasing numbers of people. Extractive and unsustainable use and governance of land and other natural resources are contributing to pollution, biodiversity loss, ecological breakdown, and climate change – threatening the survival of all of humanity. The impacts of these crises are profoundly unequal – rural women and communities in many countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America are disproportionately affected. Cultivating Change is a strategic program of work on food, land and natural resources, and climate. In this program we work with the rural women and communities most affected by worsening food insecurity, exploitation of natural resources and the climate crisis to challenge and transform the systems of inequality and rights abuses that are causing hunger, poverty and climate and ecological breakdown. This overarching programmatic framework (also described in this document as an umbrella program framework) has been developed to build on Oxfam's decades -long experience of working with rural communities and allies from local to global levels to fight the food, land, biodiversity and climate crises, including the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) -financed Seeds - Oxfam food Justice Campaign (GROW) program (2013 -2023). The framework has been co -created through consultation with Oxfam and partner colleagues from multiple countries, representing a diverse range of technical perspectives and experience on the ground.
