Mission
Over the last decade unsustainable agricultural practices and unfair business practices within the food industry have contributed to widespread ecological damage and negative socio- economic impacts. Supply chains of food and beverage companies still exploit workers and children as well as violate international environmental and economic regulations and conventions. The production of our world’s food is still far from safe while global hunger and poverty is still high. And although food security is a basic human right that should be affordable to all, over 900 million people around the world still suffer from lack of food; and the effects of climate change on global agricultural systems and vice versa creates an immense challenge for feeding the projected global population growth of 9 billion people in 2050.
In the face of these and more global challenges, the need for sustainability in the food and beverage industry is crucial. Fairfood’s mission therefore is to actively facilitate change in the food industry, making it sustainable.
