A Company Fixing the Food System for People and Planet
SIMPLi is a modern food company ethically sourcing high quality, single-origin ingredients while tackling fraudulent international supply chains, combating climate change, and improving the livelihoods of farmers and their communities. Launched in 2020 by co-founders Sarela Herrada and Matt Cohen, SIMPLi works directly with international farming communities to consolidate traditionally fragmented sourcing processes into simple, vertical supply chains while helping farmers to get their crops Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC™). SIMPLi’s work has reduced food fraud in the international supply chain by over 1 million pounds and has helped hundreds of farmers receive fair compensation, including cases of 10%+ profit increases. How does SIMPLi work with Indigenous farming communities in the Amazon? What is the process for farming communities to be Regenerative Organic Certified? What are SIMPLi’s plans for accelerating greater access to sustainable food? Join us and meet Sarela and Matt, and learn.
