Guided by our mission, we employ business principles to deliver cost-effective services and products to millions of people around the world but more specifically down to rural communities.
Efficiency.
For every dollar we spend, we aim to put more income in farmers’ pockets. We call this our “Social Return On Investment,” or SROI. In 2022, the farmers that V-Net investments served directly produced $3.20 in new farm profits for every $1 donated.
Impact.
We deliver impact as our bottom line. Farmers choose to work with us because they see growth in their crop yields and incomes. That’s not a guess: We rigorously measure the value of annual harvests as well as assets built over time, and compare the incomes of V-net investments farmers relative to their peers.
Trust.
Our field leaders live and work in the communities they serve. Farmers trust our field staff because they are often their neighbors, and farmers themselves. As our team has grown, we’ve based 95% of our jobs in rural areas, creating significant new opportunities for formal employment. We serve farmers as customers, which gives them a strong voice in our operations.
