Honest Supply Chain

Plant 4F: Food-Farm-Factory-Family

Agrivoltaics & The Future of Protein

“Food and medicine are not two different things: they are the front and back of one body.
The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
– Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution.

Who we are

F-Care Asia, a vertically integrated Supply Chain facilitator, Vietnam-based. We support new ventures and startups in APAC region, those who work in Agri-Food-Bio-Tech and Agrivoltaics for Food-Farm-Factory-Family, focusing on Green Transition to achieve Low Carbon, Resource Efficiency, and Socially Inclusivity.

We build and grow our trusted network of farms and factories, facilitating the supply chain transparency and efficiency in ingredient sourcing, fact-checking, private label and distribution in Asia-Pacific with the access to U.S. market. We also work toward improving the value chain from Food, Farm, Factory to Family, by minimizing food waste, increasing food safety and bringing back the peace of mind to Consumers. Last but not least, we support Small-scale Farmers who grow those foods with Agrivoltaics to increase their Climate Resilience, help them to receive Climate Finance, and ultimately, help them to achieve more decent livelihoods.

We are an infrastructure arm of FHH Japan, and a member of FHH Ventures.

Our work adheres to United Nations Development Goals.

The Problem

Let us tell Why?

As for Farmers, 63% of world population, who work in Agriculture, are living in Poverty. Majority are small-scale farmers, who earn only 6 cents for every $1 they produce. Furthermore, farmers are highly vulnerable to Climate change and receive only 1.7% global Climate Finance.
As for Consumers, food price keeps increasing, and a stagnant and inefficient supply chain is the major contributing factor. Furthermore, consumers have concerns about Food Safety – what is in their food, where the ingredients come from, due to a nontransparent supply chain.

Let’s change that.

The Solution

Let us tell How.

No one can achieve things alone. We hold hands with Industry Experts, aligning with the Value chain from Food-Farm-Factory-Family, incorporating emerging technologies, to innovate Plant Agriculture, Food Trust and Supply Chain areas to solve the Problem. Specifically,

Facilitate the Supply Chain in Plant Agriculture to provide an honest and efficient Track and Traceability features about Ingredients and Food, so as to provide healthier food options with more affordable prices for Consumers.
Transfer the Surplus from Cost reduction thanks to more efficient Supply Chain, to the farmers who grow that food, so they could have more decent livelihoods.
Support small-scale Farmers to build Climate Resilience and receive Climate Finance through various Solar Energy programs for more decent and greener livelihoods.

Let’s act together.
