The Rockefeller Foundation’s YieldWise Initiative is designed to reduce food loss globally by at least 50%, and to improve the lives of millions of the rural poor by creating strategic partnerships across the public, private, and non-profit sectors. These partnerships help farmers reduce food loss and thereby capture greater value from their crops, increase the predictability of their income, improve resilience of the land and natural resources on which they depend, and improve local economic development. They also help companies identify where loss occurs during sourcing, transportation, and production, helping them to build a more transparent and traceable value chain.
