Wellspring helps transform food systems and agricultural value chains to deliver positive impact. We provide high-quality strategic advisory and implementation support to development organisations and the private sector. Our work helps increase the dietary diversity of the poor, drive climate mitigation and adaptation, enhance gender equality, and contribute to economic development (e.g. jobs, livelihoods, and trade linkages). We will do this by helping our clients navigate the trade-offs between people, prosperity, and planet and identify win-wins where they exist.  

We have deep practical experience of implementing projects and investing in agribusinesses, combined with a strong consulting skillset. Alongside our partners we have facilitated investments into agricultural businesses and market development projects worth over £800 million over the past 14 years. We work in LMIC territories, with particular expertise and deep networks in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. We have carried out over 100 projects in agribusiness and food systems to date. 

We partner with a range of development partners, development finance institutions, impact investors, and private sector firms. Key clients and funders include FCDO, DIT, BEIS, GAIN, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, World Bank, CDC Group, AgDevCo, Acumen Fund, DFAT, IFC, AGRA, Larry Ellison Foundation and USAID.
