Who
we are

The world’s most important challenges —poverty, food security, and climate change— intersect at smallholder farms around the world. Sistema.bio was founded under the idea that smallholder farmers are key players in our social fabric: they take care of the land and produce 70% of the world’s food, yet live trapped in poverty, and threatened by climate change. 

Agriculture is responsible for a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions, while climate change threatens global food production. These farmers, who are among the most vulnerable in the face of these challenges, frequently lack access to technology, education, and financial services essential for overcoming them. Paradoxically, while they are the main food producers in the world, smallholder farmers face latent food insecurity. 

Sistema.bio is a suite of technology, training, and financing that creates infrastructure and capacity in farms to convert waste into renewable energy and fertilizer. This allows farmers to improve their households’ economic and health conditions while increasing farm productivity and sustainability
