Lead organisation: Farm to Feed
Farm to Feed uses a digital platform to sell farmers’ imperfect and surplus food to customers. This reduces food losses and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as improves food affordability for consumers and boosts farmers’ income. The food rescue solution helps farming communities deal with shocks and stresses of climate change. They provide fruit and vegetable farmers access to markets for foods at risk of being written off as a loss. By giving value to food that did not have value before, Farm to Feed is directly increasing farmer incomes. Farm to Feed also enables farmers to shift to regenerative agriculture methods, because they have created more certainty for farmers, which allows them to take more risk in adopting more climate smart and organic farming practices.
