Approximately 815 million people suffer from hunger worldwide, with more than nine million people dying of hunger each year according to world hunger statistics. Globally, natural disasters are increasing in both frequency and severity with food shortages becoming commonplace during these events.
Supply chain disruptions have now become chronic due to a range of severe restrictions. Conflict related displacement is also impacting food availability, resulting in food shortages and widespread famine in many areas. Food security is now poised to be the dominant global issue in the next three years.
The Bread Project
The Bread project is designed to provide rapid and widespread access to emergency meals with the intent to alleviate suffering for the people affected by food shortage events. The concept works seamlessly across borders providing support to aid agencies, sovereign nations, charities and individuals wishing to secure their food supplies or assist the needy. Whilst the Bread system has a broad multifunctional aspect in deployment and operation, it is fundamentally a compact emergency food source with unlimited shelf life.
The system allows emergency food stocks to remain on location for extended periods pre-empting disaster relief requirements while ownership remains in digital currency form.
