Farm to Feed addresses climate adaptation and resilience for smallholder farmers in Kenya by rescuing unsaleable produce. Most food produced by smallholder farmers is sold into national value chains; however, a sizable portion is typically wasted because it is imperfect. Farm to Feed rescues what would otherwise be wasted, purchasing it at a discounted price and ensuring it reaches a consumer. 

Farm to Feed reports its impact on climate resilience by considering the imperfect produce as an economic good (value of food sold), as a source of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e due to decomposing food waste), and a source of nutrition (total tonnage and tonnage of imperfect and surplus produce retained for human consumption). All three of these aspects relate to climate change via both mitigation and resilience benefits. These metrics on economic and social impacts illustrate how the business is advancing climate resilience for smallholder farmers in Kenya, using data collection approaches that are feasible and scalable for a dynamic startup.
