Newer food banks that are part of GFN’s 액셀러레이터 program are growing quickly, driven by intensive technical assistance and catalytic funding from GFN.
GFN
액셀러레이터 program helps visionary local leaders improve food access in their communities through food banking. Food banks in the first cohort, which graduated in 2024, continue to demonstrate sustainable growth and on average increased their distribution by 30%.
Fruits and vegetables made up nearly 41% of food distributed by GFN members in 2024.
전 세계 30억 명 이상의 사람들이 건강한 식단을 먹을 여유가 없지만 지역 푸드 뱅크에서 영양이 풍부한 선택을 제공함으로써 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 기술 지원, 보조금, 식품 사슬 전반의 회사와의 연결, 교육 및 인증, 연구는 GFN이 푸드 뱅크가 자체 영양 목표를 달성하고 가장 필요한 사람들에게 고품질 식품을 제공하도록 돕는 방법 중 일부에 불과합니다.
In 2024, food banks recovered 147 million kilograms of food from the agricultural sector, more than double compared to just five years ago.
Through agricultural recovery programs, food banks partner with local farmers to ensure fresh, wholesome but unsalable produce is distributed to people facing hunger. Supported by GFN’s Agriculture Recovery Hub, food banks are rapidly increasing recovery of fresh fruits and vegetables from farms and local markets, delivering more high nutrition food to people.
