farmers are now taking part in traceability projects Fairfood is running
We were already excited when traceable nutmeg hit the shelves at retailer Coop in 2018. Can you image the buzz at Fairfood’s headquarters when traceable nutmeg from Verstegen Spices & Sauces became available in all Dutch supermarkets! This way, nutmeg farmers were able to raise their income from nutmeg by 5%. Check out the nutmeg’s journey and the farmers who put in the work.
USAID, Development Gateway, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and others were just as impressed as we were, and decided to feature an elaborate case study on the partnership with Verstegen in a report on farmer-centric data governance. Check out the report here, or take a short-cut to the case-study here!
Fairfood is currently active in 13 countries, working on making commodities like citrus, coffee, cocoa and several spices more fair, together with 80 partners!
