Food and Climate is a boutique consultancy focused on transforming food systems, strengthening natural resource governance, and advancing international sustainable development cooperation. We partner with organizations to enhance strategic positioning, deepen stakeholder engagement, and provide targeted policy and programmatic support—both for immediate challenges and long-term goals.

Many organizations face capacity constraints that limit their ability to deliver lasting change. This is where we come in. As experienced, sector-savvy consultants with a strong network and a collaborative mindset, we help navigate complexity, align diverse teams, and drive sustainable impact where it matters most.
