At Sowly, we believe that every bite should tell a story. We're passionate about creating a food system that nourishes both our bodies and the planet.
We live in a world where consumers are bombarded with labels claiming to be “sustainable” and “ethical.” But how much do we really know about where our food comes from and the impact it has on our environment and communities?
The truth is, many of us are left in a “food fog.” We care about making conscious choices, but we lack the information and transparency to do so.
We want to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food, to foster sustainable practices, and to reignite the mutual understanding that once defined food exchanges.
The Food System’s Hidden Costs
This lack of transparency creates a major disconnect between consumers, businesses, and farmers, hindering a more equitable and sustainable food system.
It's challenging to make informed decisions about your food when you don't know where it comes from, how it was produced, or the impact it has on the environment.
Restaurants and Food brands struggle to verify supplier claims about sustainability, leading to concerns about quality, ethics, and compliance. It's difficult for them to confidently promote their sustainability efforts to consumers.
Farmers who are committed to sustainable practices often lack the tools and resources to measure and communicate their impact. This makes it challenging for them to gain recognition and access to fair prices.
