🌿 The Problem

In many parts of Africa, food doesn’t just go to waste at the plate — it disappears long before it ever gets there. Up to 40% of food is lost post-harvest due to poor storage, broken distribution, and volatile markets. Meanwhile, 280 million Africans face food insecurity. Most food waste ends up in unmanaged landfills, releasing methane, attracting disease, and damaging ecosystems. And today, farmers, retailers, and households aren’t rewarded for wasting less — they often pay more to manage waste better..

💡 Our Solution

Mintive is reimagining food waste — not as trash, but as a climate and social opportunity. Mintive is building Africa’s first data-driven incentive engine to turn food loss into a measurable, sustainable, profitable, and impactful activity by creating an innovative financial ecosystem.

Our mission is to empower farmers, retailers, and communities to reduce food waste through measurable actions, data-driven incentives, and a dynamic token economy.

By integrating technology, real-time analytics, and market-based rewards, we aim to drive environmental benefits, support social well-being, and foster a resilient food system

What We Do

🧭 Step 1: Track It

Food Waste Situation Analysis

We identify food waste hotspots across the food system — from farms to fridges — and produce a concise situation report.
✅ Hotspot mapping
✅ Data-driven insights
✅ “State of Food Waste” reports to guide action

📏 Step 2: Measure It

Quantify Waste & Avoided Emissions

With third-party experts, we measure food waste reduction and calculate avoided carbon emissions, which can be used for impact reporting and carbon credits.
✅ Verified data
✅ Impact tracking
✅ Unlock carbon finance potential

🎯 Step 3: Improve It

Recommend Feasible Solutions & Set Targets

We provide a strategic action note that outlines:(i) Immediate pilots(ii) Mid-term actions, (iii) Long-term system shifts
✅ Target setting
✅ Evidence-based interventions
✅ Roadmap to resilience

💰 Step 4: Incentivize It

Reward Action to Scale Climate Impact

We set up a digital reward system to encourage waste reduction:
✅ Participants earn rewards (i.e., tokens and carbon credits) for verified reductions
✅ Tokens can be redeemed for cash, agricultural inputs, or essential services
✅ Avoided emissions are certified and monetized to fund community rewards and scale efforts
