Partners in Food Solutions
Partners in Food Solutions (PFS) is a growing consortium of world-class companies — General Mills, Cargill, Royal DSM, Bühler, The Hershey Company and Ardent Mills — that mobilizes and remotely transfers employee expertise to small and growing food companies in Africa. Our goals are to improve food security, nutrition and economic development by helping Africa-based food companies produce more local, nutritious and safe food at affordable prices, and increase market demand for crops from smallholder farmers. By working with processors and mills in the middle of the value chain, we can help improve the whole value chain — from farmer to consumer. PFS collaborates closely with organizations such as TechnoServe, Root Capital and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and has been widely recognized by global leaders as an innovative, private-sector approach for improving food security, nutrition and economic development across Africa.
