What is the Social Foodies Project?
Social Foodies is all about bringing delicious, high-quality products to your table—products made from raw materials that are, as much as possible, grown and processed right in Africa. But it’s not just about tasty food. This project is on a mission to create real change by supporting small farmers and local communities. By focusing on Africa, Social Foodies helps generate jobs that improve living conditions for farmers, locals, and their families. It’s a fresh approach to food that’s as much about people as it is about flavor.

Combating Inequality in Global Food Chains
At its core, Social Foodies is tackling a big problem: inequality in global food chains. Too often, the people who actually grow and process raw materials get the short end of the stick—paid too little or working in poor conditions. This project flips that script by making sure these farmers and workers receive a fair price or a decent job with good wages and working conditions. It’s about fairness, dignity, and respect for the people behind the food.
Focus on Small Farmers and Wage Workers
Small farmers and wage workers in Africa often face tough challenges. They’re frequently paid too little for their raw materials or stuck in jobs with low wages and poor working conditions. Social Foodies shines a spotlight on these groups, aiming to change their reality. By supporting them directly, the project helps build stronger communities and more sustainable livelihoods. It’s a commitment to making sure their hard work pays off in a meaningful way.
Raw Material Projects and Supplier Selection
One of the unique things about Social Foodies is how it handles raw materials. The project doesn’t just buy from anyone—it initiates its own raw material projects in Africa or carefully selects suppliers who share the same values. This hands-on approach ensures quality and fairness throughout the supply chain. It’s about building partnerships that benefit everyone involved, from farm to table.
