Jan 25, 2017

Ardent Mills has joined non-profit group, Partners in Food Solutions, as their most recent corporate partner. Partners in Food Solutions is a US-based company that works towards improving food security, nutrition, and economic development in eight African countries.

With headquarters in Minneapolis, MN, Partners in Food Solutions brings together corporate volunteers with small food companies in Africa to provide them with technological solutions and business expertise.

Ardent Mills CEO, Dan Dye, said, “Our social responsibility efforts are focused on ending hunger and educating people on the value of grains to a healthy, balanced diet in the communities where we live and work across North America. By joining hands with Partners in Food Solutions, we are expanding our reach with these efforts on a truly international scale.”

“Africa is home to more than 1.2 billion people and that population is expected to double to 2.4 billion by 2050,” said Jeff Dykstra, Partners in Food Solutions CEO. “Harnessing the power of the private sector can have a significant impact on increasing food security across the continent for a rapidly growing population.”

In the last five years Partners in Food Solutions has assisted over 700 food businesses in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Chana, Ethiopia, Malawi, Zambia, and Côte d’Ivoire through hundreds of training and consulting projects.
