Projects

At OBA Global Citizens, we believe in turning vision into action. Our commitment to positive change is reflected in the diverse range of projects and initiatives we undertake. Each endeavor is a step towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future.

Project Overview

OBA Global Citizens initiated the FarmFood4All concept, a project that creates collaboration mechanisms amongst all food systems stakeholders while using traceability technology across the value chain from the Production of food to the Consumption of food. The value chain in farming, from the production of food to the consumption of food, involves a series of interconnected activities that transform raw agricultural materials into finished food products and deliver them to consumers.

Our project on FarmFood4All is a transformative initiative centered around the development and implementation of a sustainable farm-to-fork model. This holistic approach aims to enhance the entire food supply chain, from agricultural production to consumer access, ensuring sustainable practices, community engagement, and improved food security. The Farmfood4all project is based on recognizing that the current food system is not sustainable, equitable, or resilient enough to meet the needs of a growing global population while protecting the planet's natural resources.

One of the primary focuses of Farmfood4all is to support smallholder farmers in the transition to sustainable agriculture, who often lack access to resources and face numerous challenges in their efforts to produce food. This transformative project integrates sustainable practices, cutting-edge traceability technology, and community engagement, reshaping the entire food value chain from production to consumption. The farm-to-fork model embodies a commitment to transparency, sustainability, and the empowerment of small-scale farmers. This not only benefits the farmers themselves but also contributes to the overall sustainability of the food system.

Project Objectives

  1. Technological Innovation

    Harnessing the power of technology, FarmFood4All aims to drive innovation throughout the agricultural value chain. By implementing advanced traceability solutions, our objective is to create a transparent and accountable ecosystem. This involves integrating technologies such as blockchain and IoT to trace the journey of produce from farm to table. Through technological innovation, we seek to empower both farmers and consumers with real-time data, ensuring quality assurance and fostering trust in sustainable farming practices.

  2. Environmental Focus

    FarmFood4All is committed to leading the way in sustainable and environmentally conscious agriculture. Our objective includes the promotion of eco-friendly practices such as organic farming, water conservation, and minimal chemical usage. A key initiative is the introduction of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), recognizing farmers as stewards of the land. By compensating farmers for preserving and enhancing local ecosystems, we contribute to biodiversity conservation, soil health, and overall environmental resilience

  3. Community Empowerment
