Farm to Food Bank

The "Farm to Food Bank" project is an innovative initiative by Food Bank Viet Nam, aimed at bridging the gap between agricultural surplus and food scarcity. This project is designed to tackle several pressing challenges in the food supply chain, including reducing food waste, supporting farmers, and enhancing food security for the underprivileged communities.

At its core, the "Farm to Food Bank" project focuses on rescuing surplus agricultural products that are at risk of going to waste due to various reasons such as market oversupply, cosmetic imperfections, or logistical constraints. By connecting directly with farmers, the project ensures that these perfectly edible and nutritious foods are harvested and directed away from landfills towards those in need.

Our Activities

01

Farming Product Rescue & Food Waste Reduction

Food Waste Treatment into the Environment

Implementing eco-friendly methods to manage and recycle food waste, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
