Peace Accelerators

We are a NY-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an interdependent community of ethical futurists who are architecting peace building operations using the mediums of awareness, action, and celebration.

Our first large-scale operation is called Farms Not Arms and is about designing a regenerative model for refugee agriculture to help refugees have better access to nutritious food while teaching regenerative and sustainable agricultural skillsets, so that they restore the land as they plant healthy food to feed themselves.

We have applied a human-centered design process to come up with Farms Not Arms, starting by a design sprint with refugees to define the problem and understand their needs, issues, and concerns, and then coupled it with another one that brought different multidisciplinary subject matter experts together to adapt their expertise and design smart and tailored solutions. This is an example of the process we use to architect our peace building operations to ensure that they stem from people's needs and leverage deep expertise to create smart, holistic solutions.
