John Deere has been a strategic partner in advancing the World Food Programme’s mission to end global hunger since 2021. Through more than $9 million in philanthropic support and indispensable employee mentorship, John Deere’s partnership has fueled innovation, accelerated WFP’s emergency response efforts and strengthened small-scale farmers in communities around the world.

From supporting WFP’s Innovation Accelerator – where scale-ups and boot camps help small-scale farmers thrive – to rapidly mobilizing support at the onset of the war in Ukraine, John Deere has helped WFP reach communities across continents when it matters most.

In 2023, John Deere deepened its commitment with a transformational $5 million investment to help develop WFP’s first organizational innovation strategy – supporting WFP country offices, regional bureaus, and headquarters to think boldly, adapt quickly and maximize impact.
