SUFFICIENT, NUTRITIOUS FOOD IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
The lack of food security is one of the most urgent crises facing our country today.
Every day 18 million South African men, women and children go to bed hungry.
We live in a country that produces an abundance of fresh, nourishing food that could feed all our citizens, but one of the central problems
is that 10 million tons of food goes to waste every year.
SA Harvest is creating a food rescue and distribution platform that will ultimately enable us to realise our mission to ensure that every South African is able to access adequate nutritious food on a daily basis. This platform is based on four pillars – food rescue, education, engagement and innovation.
Eliminating hunger and food waste through the redistribution of quality surplus food underpins everything we do. Our modus operandi is unique in South Africa as we use refrigerated vehicles, which means we can deliver PERISHABLE as well as NON-PERISHABLE food, enabling our recipient organisations to get a sufficient variety of food to provide full and nourishing meals to their people.
Raising awareness about food waste, food rescue, food security and nutrition, and driving a process that helps people to become food self-sufficient through sustainable and appropriate educational programmes and technologies.
Involving the community in reducing food waste and alleviating hunger. This is achieved mainly via a programme of volunteering where people and corporations donate their time to SA HARVEST’s efforts in the community.
As innovators in the food rescue space we constantly look for new solutions to combat food waste and hunger in South Africa.

What's your vote for the Photo of the Month? What a month July was. Many of this month's images are of our relief efforts for KZN - the interlink trucks that took more than 90 tons of food, supplies and essentials from Cape Town and Joburg to Durban, and the people who made it possible. And then there are the beautiful faces of our beneficiaries and the donations we've been so fortunate to be able to deliver to them. Each photo tells a story... Which is your favourite?

CEO and founder of SA Harvest Alan Browde paints a picture of what 20 million people looks like and talks about how, together with Synthesis Software Technologies, we've developed a way for people to protest against the injustice of hunger. Is the greatest injustice in South Africa the fact that 10 million tonnes of food goes to waste while 20 million people go hungry every year? Are there solutions to hunger? And how can ordinary South Africa's take a small action that has the power to bring about big change?

These are pics from one day, gathered from deliveries and donations of fresh fruit and veggies in Cape Town and Joburg. Nutrition rocks our world - and there was an abundance of it today, thanks to donations from Grayston Fruit and Vegetables, Graaff Fruit and HelloChoice.
Our Joburg beneficiaries have received potatoes, oranges, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, onions, broccoli, lettuces, cauliflower and beetroot, thanks to the generosity of the team from Grayston Wholesalers. And in Cape Town, there are apples galore from our friends at Graaff Fruit, and veggies for days from the amazing Hello Choice.
