Verified trade, measurable progress.
Turn verified trade into measurable progress on the Sustainable Development Goals.
T57 contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals by bringing small producers and businesses into verified trade and finance, and by recording that progress on a trusted record.
The problem
The world is off track to end hunger by 2030 (SOFI 2026).
Development programs struggle to reach small producers at scale and to prove their impact. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
Reach
Programs find it hard to reach smallholders and small businesses directly.
Proof
Impact claims rest on surveys rather than verified records.
Sustainability
Support ends when funding ends, unless producers gain lasting market access.
