ABOUT JOHN M.
Driving Finance & Sustainable Agriculture for Smallholder Resilience With over two decades of experience, I am dedicated to transforming sustainable agriculture to empower smallholder farmers. My work focuses on channeling essential funding and resources to farmers—who receive less than 0.3% of global finance—through scalable, profitable agroforestry models and innovative financial mechanisms like sustainability-linked finance and carbon guarantees. By advocating for a just agricultural transition, I strive to place smallholders at the center of solutions.At One Acre Fund, I lead global partnerships and initiatives and focus most of my efforts on those that blend ecological restoration with economic opportunity, ensuring farmers have the tools to build resilient livelihoods. I also support innovation partnerships across tech, food systems and gender. Collaborating with partners like the World Resources Institute, I am committed to solutions that leverage finance and technology to create a sustainable, inclusive future for vulnerable communities.
