Our vision is to cultivate a world where every community thrives with food sovereignty, empowering individuals to access fresh, sustainable, and locally produced food, promoting resilience and well-being for generations to come.
Our mission is to provide sustainable solutions to food insecurity, empower local farmers, and create resilient food systems in vulnerable communities around the world. Together, we can make a lasting impact and transform the lives of those in need.

Products and Services
Community Food Production Centers
The GotProduce? (GP) advanced greenhouse significantly lowers water, land, and energy use in growing fresh fruits and vegetables through hydroponic techniques in a distributed production model. This method enhances efficiency, allowing for higher yield per square foot while minimizing environmental impact. By decentralizing production, GP supports local economies, reduces transportation costs and emissions, and promotes access to nutritious food in urban and remote areas. Additionally, the hydroponic system reduces the need for chemical pesticides, contributing to healthier ecosystems and safer food.
Emergency Food Relief Dome
The GotProduce? Grow Dome, featuring the latest design and technology, enables control of a compact, 700 ft2 hydroponic greenhouse through an iPad app. Capable of producing 900 lettuce heads, and 400 lbs. of tomatoes and peppers monthly, it's ideal for local markets or individuals aiming to cultivate fresh food free from GMOs and pesticides. Users simply download the app and initiate the pre-set hydroponic system to see their first crop in 30 days. Installation requires minimal effort, taking about 5 hours with two people.
Seed Donations to Small Holder Farmers
Seed donations are crucial for smallholder farmers, enabling access to diverse, high-quality seeds. This not only boosts crop yields and food security but also strengthens resilience against climate change. By enhancing biodiversity and fostering sustainable farming practices, seed donations play a key role in supporting rural livelihoods and communities.
Indigenous Seed Gathering/Saving Events
Assisting communities in collecting and preserving rare indigenous seeds is vital for maintaining biodiversity, protecting traditional knowledge, and ensuring food security. It supports resilience against climate change, disease, and pests. Such efforts safeguard plant genetic diversity, vital for future agricultural adaptation and the cultural heritage of communities worldwide.
Food Sovereignty Assistance Workshops
Food sovereignty workshops empower communities to take control of their food systems, emphasizing local, sustainable agriculture and traditional practices. They foster independence from industrial food chains, enhance nutritional health, and reinforce community bonds.

Namib Race
Namibia, Africa
The Namib Race is a grueling 7-day footrace spanning 250 km (155 miles) through the Namib Desert, the world's oldest desert. Participants must carry all their supplies, including food and equipment, while navigating challenging terrain such as sand dunes, rocky canyons, and arid desert flats. Enduring extreme temperatures and limited water sources, runners face physical and mental challenges throughout the race. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, the Namib Race attracts ultra-runners and adventurers seeking to push their limits in one of the world's most iconic deserts.
In an inspiring initiative, Got Produce Global Brands Founder and CEO, Deborah Walliser, is undertaking the Namib Race as a fundraising campaign to support indigenous communities in achieving food sovereignty. This bold endeavor aims to raise awareness and vital funds to empower these communities to develop sustainable food production systems and alleviate food insecurity. Through this extraordinary feat of endurance, GPG Foundation seeks to make a tangible difference in the lives of local communities, demonstrating the power of determination and compassion in addressing global challenges.
