Frequently asked questions

Food loss and waste have negative environmental impacts, including wasted resources, increased water scarcity, chemical pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in agriculture. To put this in perspective, food loss and waste account for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing food loss and waste is critical for sustainable food production and a healthier planet.

Farm to Feed works with smallholder and commercial farmers to ensure that more of their full harvest reaches consumers. We create market demand for fresh, edible produce that may be odd-shaped, surplus, or outside traditional buyer specifications so it does not go to waste.

We track how many kilograms of each type of produce we rescue from going to waste. Together with Wageningen University & Research, we estimate the impact per kilogram in terms of CO2 equivalent.

We sell a range of fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables from farmers in Kenya. Alongside regular Grade 1 and Grade 2 produce, we also sell odd-looking and rescue-grade produce. To browse and purchase products, customers can visit our e-commerce platform.

We deliver across Nairobi and neighbouring areas. Please contact our sales team at +254 795851756 if you want to know whether we deliver to your location.

Our full-harvest range offers fresh produce to a wide range of B2B buyers, including hotels, restaurants, caterers, feeding programmes, processors, and market intermediaries.

1. Quality assurance: You can be assured of the quality and freshness of the produce you receive. We have a rigorous three-step quality control process to ensure that only the best products are sourced and delivered to you.
2. Product variety: We offer a wide range of products, including Grade 1, Grade 2, and odd-looking produce at different price points. This gives you options to suit your budget and needs.
3. Convenience and effective service: Our e-commerce platform makes it easy to purchase products from your home or office. With prompt doorstep delivery and responsive customer service, working with Farm to Feed is hassle-free.
4. Impact measurement: We provide impact statements in partnership with Wageningen University & Research. We track how many kilograms from your purchase have been rescued and how much CO2 equivalent has been avoided, which can also support your own sustainability reporting and market reputation.

At Farm to Feed, we have a rigorous quality control process to ensure that only high-quality produce reaches our customers. We conduct three quality checks: at the supply hub, at the warehouse, and at the point of dispatch.

Additionally, our warehouse and sourcing team are HACCP certified, which means they are trained to identify and prevent potential hazards and contamination throughout the supply chain. With this process, we help ensure that customers receive fresh, high-quality produce.

We do not charge a subscription fee to customers who buy from us nor to farmers who sell with us.

1. Alternative to food waste: Working with us gives farmers an alternative to throwing away unsold produce. We buy from the full harvest, including odd-looking produce that might otherwise be used as animal feed or composted, helping reduce food waste while ensuring farmers can earn from their hard work.
2. Increased income: Farmers working with Farm to Feed can earn more from produce that might otherwise have no market. We aim to pay farmers within 72 hours of supply, giving them timely access to earnings for inputs, planting cycles, and continued production.
3. Downstream impact: Working with Farm to Feed also supports organisations that depend on farmers, such as irrigation companies and fertiliser suppliers. By providing a reliable market for farmers, we indirectly support the businesses that keep the agriculture sector moving.

We connect farmers to a network of buyers through our e-commerce platform, including hotels, restaurants, catering companies, feeding programmes, processors, and market intermediaries.

We also aim to provide training on marketing and business management to help farmers increase their income and profitability.

We have a strong track record of improving food security and promoting more sustainable agriculture practices in Kenya. We work with thousands of smallholder and commercial farmers to increase their market access and income, while also building demand for odd-looking and surplus produce that would otherwise be at risk of going to waste.

Since starting as a COVID food relief effort in April 2020, Farm to Feed has grown into a tech-enabled platform connecting farmers to reliable buyers. Our current impact metrics report 1 million kilograms of food saved and 2,410 tonnes of CO2 equivalent avoided.

Investing in Farm to Feed has the potential to make a significant impact on climate change, food security, and sustainable agriculture practices in Kenya.

Farm to Feed works to reduce food loss, which has a significant impact on the climate. By supporting our work with farmers, investors can help increase farmer income and improve market access, which in turn helps strengthen access to food.

By promoting more sustainable agriculture practices and keeping more food in the human food supply chain, we are helping to mitigate the effects of climate change and improve the health of the land.
