Through local and global projects, the Hunt Institute develops, pilots and scales solutions that counter the effects of poverty through regenerative support. We focus on three critical areas, including resilient infrastructure, sustainable food systems and an inclusive economy. Our aim is for these endeavors to be applicable in both urban and rural environments, to enable inclusive economic growth for all members of society. By engaging at the community level, our interdisciplinary teams seek to gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of local context. Before working on sustainable solutions, the Institute grounds its research in the realities of our partner communities. We test viable ideas through prototypes and projects.
