SINGAPORE, February 1, 2021 – The difficulties facing the global food and agricultural system are vast: in 2019, there were more than 820 million chronically undernourished people in the world, up from 811 million in the previous year. The Covid-19 pandemic has only compounded this. Addressing these era-defining issues will require new technological solutions.

To tackle this problem, Japfa, one of Asia’s largest agrifood companies, is partnering with GROW, Southeast Asia's first impact-focused agrifoodtech accelerator. Together, they are launching a new challenge aimed at adopting technology to drive improvements in animal feed, farming, processing, and food across five protein groups: poultry, aquaculture, swine, beef, and dairy.

Since 1971, Japfa has been feeding emerging Asia with nutritious, safe, and affordable proteins through an integrated, industrialized approach to farming that leverages technology and innovation.

With this year marking Japfa’s 50th anniversary, the company is today unveiling Japfa Feeds the Future in partnership with GROW. With this initiative, Japfa will help innovative ideas grow into viable solutions that improve the nutrition of billions of people, creating an ecosystem where all stakeholders collaborate to address some of the most pressing challenges in Asia’s livestock industry.
