Collection1: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
• The Bill & Melinda Gates works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives, focused on health, poverty, and opportunity. Their initiatives tackle some of the world’s toughest problems in the area of global health and development. For each issue, they seek to fund innovative ideas that could help remove barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives.• As one of the largest initiatives at the Foundation, the Agricultural
Development program seeks to reduce poverty for thousands of small-holder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia through a multi-faceted approach. Its interventions support work in a number of focus areas, including farmer services and systems, research and development, policies and data, livestock, and crop value chains.
