Better for consumers, farmers
and the planet.
Field Better is a line of functional ingredients sourced from upcycled produce, grains, pulses, legumes and more. These ingredients are usually excluded from global supply chains and are typically left to waste. Field Better processes these ingredients into a wide range of flours, powders, extracts and purees.
Not all ingredients are created equal.
Eliminating food loss
Large food and CPG companies are focused on sustainable products, and that starts with the ingredients they are made from. Field Better turns food loss into an opportunity for smallholder farmers in developing economies all over the world.
Empowering smallholder farmers, women and youth
Field Better’s network of over 40,000 smallholder farmers in developing economies can finally capitalize off of their abundance of natural resources. Using our ingredients allows thousands of tons of food waste to be transformed from rotting methane in their communities to money in their pocket.
Reducing global warming
At Field Better, our ingredients are tackling food loss which is one of the most effective ways to battle climate change. Food that is typically left to rot on the side of the road no longer exists. We transform food loss into value-added premium products before the methane and rot can pollute our air.
