WHERE WE CAME FROM
How can we waste 2.5 billion tonnes of food while over 800 million people struggle to eat? This isn't a business problem, it's humanity's problem.
Our team has spent decades in the food industry not only serving the best, but seeing the worst. The way we throw away food that isn't perfect. The way we made junk food the most affordable option. The way we fight to consume everything before it spoils. Our food system is broken, and back in 2019 Trendi was founded to bring people together to solve this problem.
Seeing this problem is what inspired the ambition to use technology to transform unsold and misfit food into long-lasting, nutritious ingredients.
Trendi's team of misfits is only one piece of the system though - working between farms, manufacturers, and global food brands. This problem needs everyone's participation so that we can make a difference together.
WHAT GUIDES US
Feed People First
Our priority is to feed people first with the food we have. Only when this option is exhausted we explore animal, soil, and industrial options.
We’re Responsible Citizens
We all eat, buy, and make food, and we each have a role to play in the system. In this, we strive to act as global citizens who have accountability and a responsibility to do better.
Personal Growth, Impact Together
In service to our world and the people we touch, we always support each other to grow and improve. When we grow individually, we’re more impactful together.
Everyone Deserves Food
We jump to action when we see people who don’t have food. With more than a quarter of the global population affected by food insecurity, we strive to bring more healthy food to those who need it.
