Renew Capital has announced an investment in Kenyan B2B platform Farm to Feed, which targets unused produce.
With more than a billion tonnes of food wasted on farms each year globally, Farm to Feed has introduced a solution. Its simple B2B platform is addressing some of the 40% of uneaten food by finding new uses for surplus and less-than-perfect produce.
The company’s tech-enabled platform aggregates supply and demand, optimising logistics and providing seamless customer interactions.
“Our goal at Farm to Feed is to transform the way food is valued and utilised in Kenya,” says Claire van Enk, managing director of Farm to Feed. “We're dedicated to reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture, boosting farmer incomes and making nutritious food more accessible and affordable for all.”
“Farm to Feed embodies the kind of innovative spirit and determination we value at Renew Capital,” said Esther Mwikali, Renew Capital investment and project manager for Kenya. “We're committed to backing growth-oriented founders who possess a blend of skill, grit and passion. Farm to Feed's work in transforming Kenya's food system aligns perfectly with these values.”
