Category Standard

Equilibrium Markets Ltd is a highly legitimate and impactful entity (verified via Guardian awards and UK Government/Sodexo contracts) whose evaluation is complicated by a low-quality submission. The user 'IronHeart' provided garbage metadata (claiming 'most people' have used a B2B platform and citing a nonsensical '50000 marketcap'), contrasting sharply with the accurate project description. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified government-level traction of the AgileChain platform, heavily penalized in the Response Quality and Randomization factors due to the erratic submission details.

Project Details

Description
With a purpose to develop food security for generations to come the team at EM are passionate about developing more short, transparent food supply chains here in the UK and across the world. AgileChain (www.agilechain.io), EM's technology platform, transforms conventional procurement approaches by enabling SME inclusive food procurement, fulfilment, consolidation and delivery along short, transparent, supply chains. Emfood (www.emfood.io) is our wholly owned consulting arm providing knowledge, skills and resources to clients on a journey to greater food supply chain resilience and sustainability. By enabling the public and private sector to procure food direct from SME primary producers and secondary suppliers, caterers can make more informed decisions on critically important economic, environmental and social outcomes associated with our global food system. Everyone at EM feels proud to receive recognition for our work. We've won multiple awards as well as being named 'Food Tech Pioneers' by The Guardian, Green Business of the Year by Bath and North East Somerset Council and a finalist in the BBC's Food & Farming Awards. The last 40 years of ‘mass food supply chains’ has come at a staggering cost to human health, animal welfare, biodiversity, water and soil health. Our current food system has become one of the heaviest contributors to biodiversity loss and climate change. The case for food system change in the 2020s is clear. We must act to; 1. Halt the climate & biodiversity crisis 2. Address food insecurity in all forms 3. Enable regional economic recovery
