Fairfood and Solidaridad are merging to accelerate sustainable supply chain transformation

As of 1 August 2026, Fairfood and Solidaridad are one organisation.

After more than 25 years of creating supply chain transparency and building farmer-first technology and solutions, Fairfood is merging with Solidaridad. From 1st of August 2026, Fairfood will become part of Solidaridad. To ensure a clear and consistent voice across the sector, all operations will be unified under the Solidaridad brand name.

A shared mission, amplified

Fairfood’s mission is based on a simple conviction: if farmers and food workers are invisible in the data, they are invisible in the decisions that shape their future. Over many years, that conviction drove a shift from consumer advocacy to active solution-building, developing open-source digital tools, farmer-level data systems, and methodologies that help supply chain actors move from compliance to transformation.

Solidaridad has spent almost 60 years working directly with farmers, workers, companies, and governments across 40 countries and eight global commodity chains. Together, under the RECLAIM Sustainability! programme, the two organisations have already reached over one million farmers and workers worldwide.

The merger brings these complementary strengths into one organisation: Solidaridad’s field depth and institutional reach, and Fairfood’s digital infrastructure and innovation approach.

What Fairfood brings

Across Uganda, Indonesia, Honduras, Sierra Leone, and beyond, Fairfood’s platforms have made more than 10,000 farmers visible to their supply chain partners. Not just as data points, but as counterparts in decisions that shape their income.

The tools and methodologies Fairfood has developed, including Trace, Collect, Connect, Navigate, and a Living Income Pricing Methodology are open-source and available to the entire sector. They will be integrated into Solidaridad’s global programmes and scaled across new commodities and regions.

Fairfood has proven that supply chain data is evolutionary. What begins as a tool for compliance matures into a mechanism for fair pricing. Ultimately, this data drives structural change fueling agroforestry transitions, raising incomes, and forging new sourcing models. The Fairfood – Solidaridad combination is built to scale this transformation.

What happens next 

To ensure continuity for small-scale farmers on the ground, the transition of the project portfolio has been carefully managed. Running projects will seamlessly transition to Solidaridad, delivered in close collaboration with Solidaridad’s regional expertise and local networks. Any future initiatives born from this combination will be woven directly into Solidaridad’s strategy.
