A free to use tool that helps food companies, restaurants and interested consumers learn how to ask the right questions of producers and suppliers to better support agrobiodiversity.
In a connected market, food purchasers learn to ask the right questions in sourcing ingredients so they can champion a food system aligned with their personal values and the missions of their companies – even when these ingredients come from halfway around the world. And by becoming a partner in this mutually beneficial value chain, producers are also incentivized to deliver high quality goods at a fair price that support their communities and the marketplace.
To help explain the many benefits of agrobiodiversity, the FACT Accelerator explored how to create fully connected supply chains for small millets in India, fonio in West Africa, and amaranth in Mexico.

It facilitates dialogue between supply chain decision makers, supports the equitable treatment of farmers, identifies ways to diversify systems across the agrifood sector, and improves the sharing of benefits in the supply chain.
