The main objective is to eradicate hunger and poverty worldwide through integrated development and the production of sustainable, accessible and healthy food. It also aims to protect biodiversity, regenerate the soil, mitigate climate change and build fairer societies in harmony with the environment.

In a global context marked by poverty, hunger and the growing challenges of climate change, there is an urgent need to transform our food and social systems. Global economic ambitions have taken their toll on communities, making it vital to protect the land, care for the environment and defend the rights and dignity of people in both rural and urban settings.

To tackle these challenges, it is essential to achieve integrated development that enables the production of affordable and healthy food, thereby creating a fairer society. Empowering people to adopt sustainable lifestyles and practise conscious consumption is a vital step towards building communities that live in true harmony with their environment.

To this end, the organisation Deafal works in Italy, Asia, Africa and Latin America to support smallholder farmers and local communities. Through programmes of international cooperation, environmental education and the promotion of organic and regenerative agriculture, the organisation drives innovative activities that combine research, training and production to improve living conditions and protect biodiversity.

• Implementation of rural development programmes aimed at smallholder farmers in the Global South.

• Provision of training, guidance on experimentation and technical support through courses and private consultations on regenerative agriculture.

• Daily training for members of the public, students, teachers and families on sustainability, food security and responsible consumption.

• Development of urban agriculture initiatives, creative solutions for sustainable communities and the exchange of best practice between producers and consumers.

It directly benefits smallholder farmers in the Global South, as well as citizens, families, students and teachers who gain access to training and improve their food sovereignty. At the environmental level, it benefits agroecosystems, soils and urban and rural areas in Italy, Asia, Africa and Latin America, which are regenerated and protected.
