Our core principles

Image
FOOD IS LIFE

We believe in the complexity, nuance and beauty of food

Food is not a commodity. It is essential to life and cannot be treated like any other type of manufactured product. From the farmers who grow it to the consumers who purchase it, the work we do can affect billions of people, their livelihoods, & their health.
Image
No one left behind

Everyone should share in the value created by comprehensive data

Digital twins of food provides a system that can be used by every player in the supply chain, laying the groundwork for ultimate transparency and equity. Working with farmers and primary producers—meeting them where they are financially and technologically—is how the transparency dream becomes a reality.

Data drives us

Food brands can no longer depend on storytelling

It’s all about proof and on-demand verification. Confidence in the food system will only be regained through data-driven transparency, not blind trust. Food brands can no longer depend on storytelling.

History

Image
since 2016

We’ve been working
on something big

Longtime colleagues and food marketers Maxine Roper and Stefano Volpi had crisscrossed careers through a number of major CPG brands across Europe. When they found themselves together again at a French industrial agricultural group, they experienced firsthand just how disjointed and opaque the food supply chain really was.
A blockchain-based solution—one that passes digital twins of raw ingredients down to each finished food product—would solve so many problems rampant in the industry. As industry insiders, Maxine and Stefano knew that upstream players already generated the key information, but lacked the tools, resources, and incentives to harness it.
So, they founded Connecting Food and designed the building blocks for the world’s first Food Confidence Platform. Today, we continue on our mission to liberate food data and to provide organizations and consumers the tools necessary to co-create an efficient, reliable, sustainable, and safe global food system.
