Sufosec (for Sustainable Food Systems and Empowered Communities), the Swiss Alliance for Sustainable Food Worldwide, is an alliance of six international cooperation NGOs. Their common goal is to sustainably reduce hunger and malnutrition by strengthening local food systems and communities on the basis of agroecological methods. The cooperation has been in place since 2020 and is being continuously intensified; it brings together the complementary expertise and experience of all stakeholders in the North and South and creates synergies for the efficient use of funds. The effect is systematically reviewed and improved.

The alliance organizations are Fastenaktion, SWISSAID, Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse, Vivamos Mejor, Aqua Alimenta and Skat Foundation. They are currently involved in a total of over 450 projects in poverty-stricken countries in the global South – in close cooperation with local civil society organizations. Together, they want to achieve the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with regard to hunger and malnutrition in the participating program areas. The alliance is financially supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) as part of its program contributions. A continuation of the cooperation is planned for the period 2025 to 2028.
