Love, Understand, Respect and Care (LURC) lies at the heart of our people strategy. We believe we are much stronger together when we focus on each other’s strengths and celebrate the virtues that unite us. The range of backgrounds in our team reflects our total commitment to diversity and engagement.

Our work is geared towards solving a series of global food sustainability challenges, not barred by boundaries as we strive to zero hunger. We actively engage with a broad spectrum of experts, early-stage researchers, and public stakeholders across the globe to translate research into solutions on the ground. Our policy of active, inclusive engagement enables us to deliver high-impact research, technology, capacity building and consulting services, in the most challenging environments.

Our LURC Policy is under constant review. As we work towards a new milestone in our journey towards 2030, international frameworks such as the United Nations Global Compact, the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation, and of course the Sustainable Development Goals, will continue to shape our policies and practice.
