Food Loss & Waste

Reducing food loss and waste is crucial for enhancing food security, conserving resources, and mitigating climate change. When food is lost or wasted, all the resources used to produce, process, and transport it are squandered, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. G2M supports the adoption of best practices by providing training, resources, and technical assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By helping SMEs implement efficient storage, processing, and distribution techniques, G2M ensures that more food reaches consumers, reduces environmental impact, and promotes sustainable, resilient food systems that can better meet the needs of all communities.

Energy Efficient Technology

Promoting efficient energy technologies is vital to G2M’s mission of creating sustainable and resilient food systems. Energy efficiency reduces operational costs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), allowing them to invest in other critical areas such as food safety and market expansion. By adopting efficient technologies, businesses can minimize their environmental footprint, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and conserving resources. G2M supports SMEs in implementing these technologies by providing technical assistance, access to financing, and training. This approach not only enhances the competitiveness of SMEs but also contributes to more sustainable, eco-friendly food systems that benefit both businesses and consumers.

Agroforestry

Agroforestry supports the sustainable production of various food products, including coffee, cacao, spices, fruits, and nuts. By integrating trees with these crops, agroforestry enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, and increases carbon sequestration, which helps mitigate climate change. The shade and protection provided by trees also reduce the need for chemical inputs and conserve water, benefiting both the environment and crop yields. GTM supports agroforestry by providing training, resources, and technical assistance to farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enabling them to adopt these sustainable practices. This approach fosters resilient food systems that support environmental conservation and long-term agricultural productivity.
