CHANGING HOW WE GROW, catch, EAT, AND WASTE FOOD
Our global food system is failing people, nature, and the climate. Food production drives nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions and uses most of the world’s freshwater. Yet millions of people still go hungry, even though most of our food comes from small-scale farmers, fishers, and harvesters who sustain communities and steward natural resources.
At Rare, we believe that the future of food depends on people — from those who grow, catch, and harvest it to those who prepare it, eat it, waste it, and shape what’s next. Through behavior-centered design and community-led solutions, we help shift how food is produced, shared, and valued, making it more regenerative, equitable, and sustainable for all.
