Marketing Internship at Farm to Feed 

About Farm to Feed

We are the odd-looking solution to food loss. In sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 50% of fruits and vegetables produced never reach a consumer. In Kenya, 30% of food produced is lost after harvest. Whilst this is happening, 32% of Kenyans face food insecurity, and 26% of Kenyan children are stunted. Farm to Feed was created to tackle this devastating paradox. Our website – www.farmtofeedkenya.com

At Farm to Feed, we aggregate surplus and imperfect produce and sell to partners who help increase access to affordable nutrition and customers looking for affordable vegetables while positively impacting the climate.

Our values:
●  Avant-garde: We are original and not afraid to stand out to tackle problems of the food system differently.
●  Committed: We are committed to each other, our farmers, and a healthier planet
●  Agile: We are flexible, which gives us room to innovate quickly.
●  Honest: We have put transparency and integrity central to everything we do.
