ShambaJijini Summit
16th to 31st of October 2021
Claire van Enk
"In sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 50% of fruit and vegetables never make it to market for consumption. This means lost income for farmers and economies."
Claire is the founder and CEO of Farm to Feed, a charity that collects food waste (food rescue) from farms, in order to donate it to food-insecure groups. The social business, that was added later on, sells food to impact-driven organisations.
In the interview, Claire talks extensively about the topic of food waste, her charity, which focuses on the prevention of food waste and feeding food insecure groups, and the link between food waste and climate change.

ARE YOU THINKING OF GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD?

Did you ever think about a more sustainable, even regenerative way of farming?ShambaJijini Summit brings you stories of people who grow food for their families without the use of chemicals. People, who earn a living from regenerative farming or even created a completely new career path for themselves.
