Conflictfood
trading for peace
The team around Salem El-Mogaddedi and Gernot Würtenberger has been traveling into conflict regions regularly since 2016 to find the best local agricultural products on site and to trade directly with small farmers. In the long term, they want to create a perspective for people, strengthen local structures and combat the root causes of flight. In addition, the profit is invested in educational projects in the countries of origin. Conflictfood promotes self-initiative and shows people in emergency situations how they can remain independent despite conflicts and crises. (https://youtu.be/FaBxetEzlnM)
“What a great honor to win the iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE 2018! We are very thankful and happy that iF is joining Conflictfood’s journey – literally: the support we have received helps us to make this year’ s trip to farmers in Afghanistan. Through fair and direct trade we can open up new markets to them and tackle poverty at the root. Thank you, iF!”
