Building the Team Behind the Mission

• Staff came together for training, planning and exchange, strengthening collaboration and leadership across the organization.
• A new Future Leaders in Crop Diversity program launched, bringing a more strategic approach to youth engagement.
• The Crop Trust team remained diverse and international, with 55 staff representing 26 nationalities.

In 2025, the Crop Trust invested in its people as a core part of delivering its mission. Staff participated in a two-day training on intercultural communication and delegation, followed by a planning retreat later in the year. The Gender Diversity and Inclusion Committee also expanded its work, complementing the “Equity First” course with five in-person sessions that created space for practical discussion and shared learning.

The year also deepened the organization's engagement with the next generation. The launch of the Future Leaders in Crop Diversity program brought youth engagement under a single strategic framework, moving toward a coordinated approach.

By the end of the year, the Crop Trust employed 55 staff representing 26 nationalities. The team was 58% female and 42% male, with the majority of staff between 30 and 50 years old, reflecting a dynamic and diverse organization.
