The Urgency

Changing Our Story

Every day, fertile land turns to dust or sits underutilized — Africa farms only 30% of its arable land. Millions go hungry while 41% of global food is wasted. Families are forced to migrate — not because they want to, but because their soil, water, and livelihoods are disappearing. The extractive global economy has reached its breaking point. If we continue as we are, the cost of inaction will exceed $9 trillion per year by 2030 — just to manage climate refugees and food shortages for over 400 million migrants. That same amount used intelligently could end hunger and poverty while generating multi-trillion-dollar regenerative industries.

What if the grass can be greener on this side of the field, lessening rural to urban and cross border migration? What if micro-farming across 500 million smallholders could stabilise rural climates and revitalise local economies — moving from extraction to circulation? What if we could cut 41% global food waste? What if a bottom-up farmer economy could deliver rewards to growers while stabilising your supermarket prices?

How we do this is the work of the Arc.

Biodiversity & Climate

Over one million species are now at risk of extinction, destabilising water cycles, weather systems, and the natural balance that sustains life.

Mass Migration

Up to 380 million people could be forced from their homes by 2030 by drought, conflict, and climate disruption, reshaping continents and straining social stability.

Food Security

Global food demand will surge 50% within the decade even as fertile land declines, while more than 800 million people already face hunger without regenerative production.
