About FoodTBD Android App

The food sector—which includes NGOs, foundations, food producers, researchers, chefs, activists, food companies, and entrepreneurs across the value chain—can be defined as a collection of silos. Each houses potentially transformative initiatives, visionary thinkers, and innovative practices, but they mostly work in isolation.

Food company executives often have minimal contact with farmers or the field work of NGOs, while NGOs may advocate system change that is out of sync with how the marketplace works. Consumers, meanwhile, yearn—often in vain—for a more transparent food system that allows them to make food purchases more aligned with their values and the world they want to see.

To break these silos and forge greater collaboration across a variety of initiatives, we’re building FoodTBD, an expert-driven knowledge sharing platform to produce meaningful system change across the food industry by helping companies align with NGOs, researchers, food producers and foundations to collectively address key food system challenges.

The platform will help members transform knowledge and relationships into the starting points for collective actions designed to accelerate change in our food systems.

Members will be able to identify key resources and domain experts for consultation and collaboration, publish work, add resources to a private archive, and create or join action-oriented communities of practice defined by key subject areas.

The platform will also include features that cater to and serve a public audience to drive change by creating greater awareness among consumers by delivering information from trusted sources.
