In this episode, I speak with Charlene Tan from Good Food Community about her journey to build the Good Food Community platform in Manila.
Good Food Community, aims to make local communities sustainable by connecting organic farmers and “enlightened citizens” in a program called Community Shared Agriculture. Through the scheme, farmers benefit by having the safety net of stable demand while citizens get shares of the harvest every week.
