What does fair value distribution mean to us?<\/h1>\n

By re-distributing value evenly along the supply chain, we ensure that farmers earn what they deserve. This depends on stakeholders coming together on the joint mission towards fairness.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Towards a fair value chain approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The agri-food sector is tainted by a skewed distribution of value. Despite acting as the backbone for global food supply, many smallholder families are living on less than \u20ac2 a day, with living wages and incomes<\/a><\/strong> being far from the reality. The hypocrisy of the food sector is that while farmers are supplying a multi-billion dollar industry, they themselves are living in poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unequal distribution of value calls for a restructuring of business models and stakeholder relationships in food systems towards a fairer share of benefits. This is the essence of “fair value distribution”, which was defined by OXFAM<\/a> as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s traceability got to do with it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fairfood encourages agri-food companies to restructure the distribution of value within their supply chains in a more equitable way. The first step is to map out the supply chain and gain insight into the actors involved and the extent of insufficient pay – which we achieve through traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that these efforts benefit all stakeholders. While a fairer distribution ensures that farmers are earning a decent living, it also helps companies future-proof their practices in face of shifting consumer demands and due diligence regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
