After years of advocacy in the agri-food sector, Fairfood in 2018 decided to notch up its contribution to farmer advocacy by adopting a modern Blockchain based traceability platform. With CIED’s assistance, today Fairfood’s clients use Trace to answer the increasing disruptions in the supply chain and showcase their customers the real story of the food they consume.
About the company
The challenge of catering for the exploding world population — in a sustainable way, with a fair distribution of value in the supply chain —is seeding a revolution in fixing the global food systems. For the Amsterdam-based NGO Fairfood International, their contribution to this revolution translates to research, technology and advocacy towards a fair and transparent supply chain. With this powerful trio, the organization not only champions food security but establishes a system that provides the farmers and workers who are active in the chain with a living wage or income.
