How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:
['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']
Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
Our project empowers underrepresented groups, particularly women and rural farmers, by providing sustainable solutions to reduce post-harvest loss, enhance food security, and increase income. In Tanzania, where many women are involved in vegetable farming and vending, limited access to technology and inefficient post-harvest practices lead to high food waste. Through Freshpack boxes and solar-powered display units, we offer innovative tools that enable women to preserve and market their products more effectively, empowering them economically. Our leadership team includes women in key positions, with our CEO, COO, and CMO all bringing expertise in agriculture, operations, and marketing. We also prioritize hiring women and youth from rural areas, creating local employment opportunities. In the long term, we aim to focus on training and capacity-building for women and youth, equipping them with the skills to manage their businesses and build resilient, sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring that marginalized communities actively participate in the climate solution.
