What is GLFx?

Launched in 2020, the GLFx is an opportunity-making network for community-led organizations boosting action for sustainable landscapes from the ground up.

Act locally, impact globally

GLFx chapters represent local leadership that forges connections, accelerates action, promotes inclusivity and expands knowledge sharing to achieve lasting impact. From planting native trees to implementing regenerative agriculture and facilitating public dialogues, GLFx chapters are at the forefront of change across Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean.

How it works

GLFx brings together independent local organizations, known as GLFx chapters, and leverages opportunities and partnerships for networking, learning, exposure to the media and global events, and access to seed funding for sustainable landscape management.

"GLFx is exceptional at connecting us with the key partners and institutions we need to talk about scaling our Food Forest project, and with landscapes leaders who are eager to join us in restoring landscapes, which family farmers depend on."
