Grow In Time

Hand2Earth is in Vienna, Austria this week! 🛬

Project Manager/Designer Vonnie Roudette is presenting our active farmland restoration project at the UNIDO Climate Adaptation and Industrial Resilience Forum from February 17-20, 2026 at the Vienna International Centre as one of the 22 recipients of the globally competitive Inclusive GEF Assembly Challenge Award.

In 2023, Hand2Earth’s farmland restoration project was selected from 600 global applicants. This Award has enabled us to scale our climate adaptation project in North Leeward, SVG that began in 2022 with a SVG Conservation Fund grant. The project now encompasses watershed management and trail development for agri-heritage tourism.

Our farmland restoration project continues to see steady growth in community involvement. We currently work with 85 farmers and 21 crafters — reaching over 200 households since 2022.

We are honored to be invited to share the experience of our project participants in such a high-level setting this week!

Many, many thanks Global Environment Facility and UNIDO - United Nations Industrial Development Organization 🌱
