Our next guest unpacks how their initiative was developed in response to critical issues created and compounded by Covid-19 pandemic. Many small and micro farmers sat with oversupply as market demand for fresh produce slowed and retailers clamped down on their supply chains to focus on large off-takers. At the same time, millions of people faced the threat of increased hunger. In its first nine months, this innovation has delivered 1 000 tonnes of fresh produce, which translates to four-million meals, for more than 350 000 people in the country.
