Hello! You are looking at the brand new version of the 4 for 1000 Initiative website, which went live at the beginning of March…
Everything has changed, hopefully for the better, but of course, as with any major update, one or two bugs may have crept in here and there!
Please forgive us in advance for any imperfections that may have escaped us, and possibly take a minute to point them out to us by sending a note to webmaster@4p1000.org. Thank you again for your indulgence!

Why do we talk about “4 for 1000?” ?
The International “4 per 1000” Initiative encourages stakeholders to engage in a transition towards a regenerative, productive, highly resilient agriculture, based on appropriate land and soil management, which creates jobs and income and thus leads to sustainable development.
The International “4 per 1000” Initiative aims to show that agriculture can provide concrete solutions to the challenge posed by climate change while meeting the challenge of food security through the implementation of agricultural practices adapted to local conditions: agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape management, etc.
The Initiative facilitates the development of concrete actions on the ground, benefiting both farmers and herders, who are the first to be affected by land degradation, and more broadly the entire world population.
The Executive Secretariat of the “4 per 1000” Initiative is hosted by The Alliance Bioversity International-CIAT, an International organization based in Montpellier (France).
