Swisscontact is a Swiss-based non-profit organization focused on inclusive economic development and sustainable agriculture. Founded in 1959, the organization works in over 40 countries worldwide, implementing projects that enhance vocational education, entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, and climate-resilient agriculture.
Swisscontact supports smallholder farmers, agribusinesses, and rural communities by promoting innovative, market-oriented solutions that improve productivity and sustainability. The organization emphasizes capacity building, technology transfer, and policy advocacy, ensuring long-term impact for the communities it serves.
Ecotop and Swisscontact collaborate on projects that integrate Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) systems into agricultural landscapes. This partnership helps farmers adopt sustainable land-use practices, enhance soil fertility, and increase climate resilience, particularly in regions vulnerable to environmental degradation.
