Social Enterprise Challenge: Food Security in Urban Slums by 2018
SUANAE PROJECT . . . Changing the global food supply chain landscape through efficient waste management, increased corporate social responsibility and cost saving incentives that generate employment while preserving finite natural resources . . .
*Encouraging waste management excellence *Accrediting CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and CSA (Consumer Social Awareness) *Utilising reverse logistics (backward integration of supply chain and operations efficiency) *Empowering farmers, producers, suppliers and retailers with rewarding incentives *Cost saving green initiatives to protect the environment and generate employment
STAGE 1 an agreement is brokered with superstores, retailers and suppliers of food items to trade in-demand currently wasted food products to the SUANAE PROJECT. These products are purchased or traded for a minimal price and green units allocated to respective partys. The CSR value adds-up towards cost savings, environmental/green points and other intangible benefits to all stakeholders. The traded products are then taken to a distribution centre (HUB) and recorded onto a system which values each food item according to the type, quality, quantity and the actual edible life span thats left. Produce are then allocated value units accordingly and processed for distribution.
STAGE 2 - The foods are then converted into various edible and transportable forms and moved on to awaiting dispatch trucks and vans. Food vans store and deliver ready meals on the go within a given urban area easily accessible from the HUB. They double as collection points where households can return unused food items and trade them in without leaving their locality. The consumer is encouraged to trade-in unopened food items that are still edible and of nutritional value. The items returned by the consumer are registered on a customer social awareness scale and appropriate value units allocated to each individual consumer.
STAGE 3 Food packages in each truck is then prioritised based on what area, region or country they are needed for distribution. Establishing the supply chain operations required to get these food items to different areas or regions where food aid is urgently needed is paramount to the success of the entire project. Already established cargo, transport and haulage routes which are operated by various parties within the food industry are utilised. Source of revenue and employment for these operators. (Reverse logistics)
CSR units, green points and value units are all incentives to businesses which represent a percentage of the cost of the food produce that is saved by all parties. Engaging consumers in waste reduction can generate added value to the household, supply chain and the food industry in general. Due to the large demand that food production puts on other natural resources including land, water and energy, the project targets long term sustainability and reduced environmental risk. Governments, Aid/relief organisations and corporate bodies already engaged in food aid and waste management programmes can play a vital role in implementing this project.
All stakeholders gain cost savings, additional revenue and increased corporate social responsibility equity through progressive collaboration with this social enterprise initiative Improved trade relations between farmers, suppliers and retailers which leads to lower overhead costs and better prices for food products worldwide. Providing nutritious food products for everyone especially those in undernourished urban slums and rural areas at an affordable price. Significant household savings from returned food items and the added availability of an affordable alternative means to buy foods.
