ALLFED Institute (Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters)

ALLFED seeks to provide practical, affordable, and resilient food solutions so that, in the event of a global catastrophe, governments, industry, and communities can respond quickly and distribute food equitably, saving lives and promoting the continuation of global cooperation.

What does ALLFED do?

Our work spans a wide range of disciplines to address the complex and interconnected risks of the food system: 

1. Research and innovation: We research, develop, and model cost-effective solutions that could help build food system resilience in global catastrophes. Explore a portfolio of projects seeking funding, including food production technologies for nuclear or volcanic winter, decentralized systems to maintain food, water, and energy during infrastructure disruption, and interventions to sustain critical systems during extreme pandemics. 
2. Collaboration and Policy Engagement: We collaborate with governments, NGOs, academia, and industry across the globe to strengthen food system resilience. Your funding supports national food system resilience strategies, regional preparedness initiatives, critical infrastructure resilience policy, and pandemic preparedness measures. 
3. Technology & pilot interventions: We develop practical, open-source solutions that communities and governments can deploy in under catastrophic conditions, including nuclear-winter-resilient crops, off-grid food and energy systems, pandemic failsafes to maintain essential industries, and backup systems for food, water, energy, and communications.
