Agriculture and FoodAgriculture and Food Systems
Food systems carry more people's livelihoods than any other industry and receive the least leadership attention. The gap between what a farm produces and what a farmer earns is where most of the problem sits.
What we want to help solve
- Value captured far downstream of the people who grow the food
- Post-harvest loss treated as inevitable rather than as an engineering problem
- Land tenure insecurity that makes long-term investment irrational
- Input and credit markets that reach the largest farms first
The questions it raises
- Where in this chain does the value actually stop?
- What would a smallholder need in order to invest for ten years?
- What are we taking out of this soil, and what are we putting back?
- Who eats worse if this business succeeds?
