I am but a tiny seed, carrying the weight of a dream. In a world where food connects us all, each seed, carefully selected, represents a promise, a promise of growth and abundance. But trust is not a solitary act.

Counterfeit agricultural inputs such as fake seeds threaten food security in many parts of Africa, hinder productivity, and keep smallholder farmers in poverty. mPedigree is a social enterprise working in partnership with governments, several of the Fortune 500 companies and grassroots organizations to spread innovative technologies that secure communities from the harmful effects of counterfeiting, and has impacted the lives of over 200 million people on three continents. mPedigree’s work is unified by a simple grand vision: a marketplace powered by Trust.
