Kenya’s Farm to Feed raises $1.5 million to give imperfect farm produce a market
- Farm to Feed closed a $1.5 million seed funding round to scale operations across Kenya and into regional markets.
- The funding includes $1.27 million in equity and $230,000 in non-dilutive funding from the DeveloPPP Ventures program.
- Farm to Feed connects smallholder farmers to businesses needing reliable and traceable produce, addressing inefficiencies in food supply chains.
Farm to Feed's innovative approach to connecting farmers with businesses not only addresses food waste but also promotes sustainability and economic growth in the agricultural sector. Their focus on 'rescue-grade' produce is a commendable effort that could reshape consumer perceptions and enhance food security in Africa. Further discussion could explore how technology can be leveraged to optimize supply chains and expand market access for smallholder farmers.
