Our solution

Taking the global innovative OzHarvest Food Rescue Model

We are combining with KOTO, Vietnam’s first recognised Social Enterprise and its know-how and expertise on empowering people and creating an impact-driven, purpose-led, Social Enterprise VietHarvest. The “Harvest” Model was started in Australia and has since been replicated in New Zealand, United Kingdom, South Africa, and Vietnam.

The difference we
make to the planet

We are committed to reducing food waste, hunger, and poverty, while fostering a sustainable food culture and ecosystem in Vietnam that contributes to addressing key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By collaborating with hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and local food businesses, we rescue safe, nutritious surplus food that would otherwise end up in landfill and redistribute it to support vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.

We are committed to reducing food waste, combating hunger, and enhancing the lives of disadvantaged communities in Vietnam.

FOOD & CLIMATE CRISIS

Globally, one-third or 1.3 billion tonnes of food produced is lost or wasted around the world according to the United Nations. The retail cost of food waste is $1 trillion USD.

Vietnam ranks as the second-largest food-wasting country in the region, after China. In Ho Chi Minh City alone, thousands of tonnes of food are wasted every day. Most food loss occurs due to inadequate handling, storage, and spoilage during distribution

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta is one of the world’s most agriculturally productive regions, vital for its exports of rice, shrimp, and fruit, yet it faces significant threats from climate change.

In the first half of 2017, an estimated 574,000 people in Vietnam were affected by hunger.
