Fighting Hunger with Opportunity

While 820 million people live with hunger, 1.3 billion metric tons of food is lost or wasted every year. That is enough to feed 1.6 billion people. This means that we already produce enough to feed everyone on the planet, if we improve the way we process and conserve food.

With proper technologies, postharvest loss can decrease from an average of 40% to just 5%, significantly increasing the amount of food available at markets. And, in the midst of a global pandemic, effective processing and storage practices are key to building more resilient food economies that recover more quickly to market disruptions.

Join us in the fight against hunger with innovative solutions that help rural Africa sustainably decrease postharvest losses. You can help rural communities to process, save, and sell more food.
