About Us

Feed the Future Partnering for Innovation is a USAID and Fintrac Inc. program focused on finding and commercializing agricultural technology that can help smallholder farmers. We're working to build public-private partnerships that move agricultural technologies from labs to markets to farms.

There is a significant amount of research and development that already exists with the potential to make agriculture more productive, more efficient, and more cost-effective. However, much of this technology has not reached markets in developing countries because of the risk associated with investing in emerging markets. Partnering for Innovation serves as a bridge between R&D and the private sector - forming robust partnerships that bring new technologies to the market, changing the way smallholder farmers do business.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to learning about the new technologies you are working on. Bob Rabatsky, Director, Feed the Future Partnering for Innovation
