About the Author

Hugh Locke is a Co-Founder of the Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA), a Haitian non-profit using a new agroforestry model that links improved agriculture with tree planting.

The SFA, in partnership with Timberland, has reintroduced cotton to Haiti and is now working towards producing regenerative cotton. Hugh and his co-founder Timote Georges were featured in the documentary Kombit: The Cooperative. Hugh is also CEO of Smallholder Data Services (SDS). He is author of The Haiti Experiment, has given a TEDx talk, and writes and lectures extensively on smallholder farming and sustainable development.
