Sufosec, an acronym for Sustainable Food Systems and Empowered Communities, is an alliance of six Swiss NGOs active in development policy. Created in 2020, the alliance aims to build synergies between the 6 NGOs around one main theme: fighting malnutrition and hunger by strengthening local food systems and thus the resilience of communities. It is active in about 30 countries with 462 projects.
Our mission
Projects aimed at strengthening and implementing shorter supply chains, local agro-ecological production, climate change adaptation and participatory research are at the heart of Sufosec, the Alliance for Sustainable Food in the World.
In its 2025-2028 program, the Alliance will place particular emphasis on people’s participation in local and inclusive food systems, agro-ecological transition and gender justice. It aims to ensure that communities enjoy their right to food and improve their living conditions in times of climate crisis. To achieve this, a number of specific targets have been set, such as a reduction of over 50% in the prevalence of moderately or severely food-insecure households, or the application of a diversified set of agroecological practices by 80% of households supported by Alliance projects.
The Alliance is financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
