Solution Overview

Our solution will reduce food waste by 50%-75%, saving an estimated 700M - 1B tonnes of food, fueling billions of additional funding back into the rural communities that support our producers and eliminate hunger. Based on multi-stakeholder projects in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia that focus on linking small-scale producers to modern markets, our solution is well documented from the leading food system researchers globally and centers around communication and cooperation between farmers and value producers. This will focus on efficiencies to reduce overproduction, diversify and upscale production centered on the value chain (from farmers to manufacturers to consumers). Incorporation of proven methodologies, relevant for global farming communities fueled by technology and collaborative partnerships, we will create a sea-change through knowledge transfer as we invest up to $1 million in 100 select North and South American, African, and South East Asian communities using data overlays that identify homelessness, poverty, unemployment, and small to mid-size farms to determine appropriate targets. This funding will be the initial driver and basis for long-term, sustainable impact fueled by the entire value-chain that creates greater efficiency and opportunity while reducing waste. Every participant in the value-chain will be impacted including entrepreneurial businesses, environmental solutions (less waste), social (job opportunities), and community implications (revitalization of rural locations). Empowering communities to vertically integrate, wasteful processes can be eliminated. Farmers can reach more markets and consumers. Empowering each target community with low-cost, state-of-the-art technology will provide the platforms for measuring and understanding the impact of our solution.
