Member testimonials

Acceso joined CASH because of the Coalition’s commitment to farmer profitability as a prerequisite and pivotal driver in scaling regenerative agriculture. This commitment is aligned with Acceso’s understanding that without stable, secure, and profitable incomes, we cannot expect farmers to advance other critical agendas, including climate change mitigation. We are excited to join hands with equally committed and mission-aligned organizations to make progress on transitioning food systems to regenerative agriculture.

Rob Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, Acceso

One Acre Fund joined the CASH Coalition to be part of a transformative effort to bring climate action to smallholder farmer clients led by the largest coalition of agricultural social enterprises in the world. Together we are far more likely to break down the barriers we confront in accessing climate finance, knowledge, and policy change and enable meaningful climate action at scale.

John Mundy, Director of Global Partnerships, One Acre Fund

CASH Coalition will accelerate Root Capital’s learning and action agenda and our ambition to catalyze a carbon payment ecosystem that rewards smallholders and small agribusinesses for combatting climate change. We know that farmers and agricultural businesses cannot finance their way to climate resilience. Carbon payments can be used to finance investments for greater climate action — and CASH will help us get there. 

Willy Foote, Founder and CEO, Root Capital

The CASH Coalition gives us a unique opportunity to tell the Nigerian story about how innovation and advanced technologies have improved smallholder farmer resilience and promoted adaptation to climate change while driving environmentally sustainable growth and creating new opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector.
