Cooperation for a Better World
When heartfelt efforts inspire cooperation across cultures and generations, we move closer to a more peaceful, fair, and equitable world.
Plenty International was created in 1974 by a community of idealistic young people living cooperatively on land in rural Tennessee called The Farm. Sharing a commitment to engage with the world and find ways to be helpful, Plenty became a vehicle for that commitment.
What we do
Plenty™ was founded in the understanding that all life is connected in a web of interdependence and balance. Our actions change the world, for better or worse. We can choose which.
