For six years, Nutiva partnered with Common Vision to bring an orchard to every public school in Richmond, California. This unprecedented, city-wide achievement that has brought fresh, healthy, school-grown fruit to 28 schools, impacting over 13,000 students — 79.5% of whom rely on free and reduced cost lunches.

In partnership with global non-profit The Grameen Foundation, we donated and helped to plant 100,000 coconut seedlings in the Philippines to revitalize crops and replace many trees that had been destroyed by typhoons. Today these seedlings have grown into productive, orgainc coconut trees that are improving livelihoods of our local small-holder farmer partners.

In late 2020, the Philippines were ravaged by three successive typhoons, destroying homes and plantations and leaving many smallholder farming communities at risk. As longstanding partners with these farming communities, Nutiva was able to act quickly providing labor to help clean up debris and donating lumber, roofing materials to rebuild homes and livelihoods quickly.

Our avocado oil isn’t just versatile in the kitchen—it’s also nurturing farming communities, sustainable livelihoods and soil regeneration.

We’re also working to build healthy communities by offering farmers tools and training to grow avocados as well as equity through their own businesses.
