Ten years later I can gladly say that with your help AIDG achieved those goals. The enterprises we helped have served several hundred thousand people and they are just getting started. A few of them might scale to serve millions. AIDG embraced local design and manufacturing SME investment and direct outreach in communities to achieve an impact that will last well beyond the scope of the organization. I invite you to look through this multimedia review of our ten years of work. Thank you for your support through the years.

Imperfect
For us this is a story about finding creative ways to reduce food waste. Imperfect is the latest venture launched by Ben Simon and Ben Chesler. We ve been passionate about food waste for a long time always with the same goal in mind Keep food from being wasted and provide it to people instead.rn rnIt all started when we launched the Food Recovery Network in 2011 to recover leftover food from campus dining halls. After 700000 pounds of food recovered and 150 college campuses we began looking for ways to have an even bigger impact. And we found it on farms where 20% of the produce grown never makes it to a human mouth in large part because it is simply the wrong shape size or color. rn rnWe realized that across the country ugly produce (or as we like to say cosmetically challenged produce ) is being treated like a second class citizen. Every year six billion pounds of fruits and vegetables go to waste on farms across the U.S. just for looking a little different from other produce. Instead of going to feed people all that wasted produce is sitting in landfills where it releases methane gas into the atmosphere.rn rnSo we came up with the idea to reduce this food waste while making produce more affordable for all families. We ve teamed up on this project with Ron Clark who has worked for the California Association of Food Banks for the last 15 years sourcing ugly produce to keep it from going to waste. rn rnImperfect gives consumers the chance to buy delicious wonky looking produce at a discount. So instead of going to waste all those odd looking fruits and vegetables will be helping Americans eat healthier at a price they can afford. rn rnWe re excited to start this journey and we would love for you to join us.

Treebos uses a vertically integrated model to reorganize the financing production and produce distribution of small farms. rnrnTreebos.com enables web users to plant virtual trees online that represent actual fruit trees that Treebos plants in small farms in Brazil. Subscribers watch their trees grow online and get regular updates. They also purchase subscriptions that deliver the organic fruit sourced from these trees or local sustainable farms to their homes and offices. This creates a new source of web aggregated capital that subsistence farmers use to rebuild their agri businesses using organic methods and increase their income. rnrnTreebos addresses massive inefficiencies in Brazilian agriculture and supply chains up to 40% of produce gets lost on the way from the farm to table and the farmer gets only around 7% of the final market price. Brazil alone has over 3 million subsistence farms that lack access to productive investment and security of sale. Treebos creates an efficient supply chain and connects urban users directly with rural farmers paying farmers 60% more in the process. It also provides subscribers with their personal social and environmental impact metrics.
