Two Hands

Food systems are broken. Farmers, people & nature are paying the price. We know how to fix it.
Two Hands uses tech to reengineer food supply chains for a more sustainable future.
We authenticate data from farm, through every change of custody to end-buyers - delivering truth in reporting soil health, biodiversity & produce nutrient density - all at no cost to farmers or end-buyers

Two Hands' platform changes food system incentives — from price and volume to nutrition and nature, at no cost to producers or end-buyers. Producers, chefs, diners and the institutions all gain. Commercialised across two continents, now scaling in the UK.

The Problem: When a carrot is just a carrot, everyone loses.

Walk onto almost any family farm and ask what the biggest daily struggle is. The answer is almost always the same: profitability. Not technology. Not data. Profitability.

Farmers, fishermen and fishing communities have been squeezed for decades by a food system treating their produce as commodities — indistinguishable, interchangeable, cheap. The people who know their land and their waters best receive the smallest share of the value they create.

Meanwhile chefs, purchasing managers and consumers have no reliable way to know what they are buying — where it came from, how it was grown, what it contains.

The problem sits in the food system itself — and the costs are spread far wider than most people realise. Farmers carry the loss of profitability. Consumers carry the health consequences. Nature carries the depletion. The FAO puts the hidden costs of global food systems at $12.7 trillion a year, exceeding the $9 trillion value of the food economy itself. For the UK alone, that's £248 billion annually in hidden health, nature and community costs — against a farming sector Treasury views through a £14 billion GDP lens.

The current incentives reward price and volume. Stewardship, quality, nutrition and nature impact are invisible. Change those incentives, and the system changes.

Who we serve: Two sides of one marketplace

For farmers and fishermen
‍Make more profit for what you produce - not the commoditised market average. Earn additional income steams. Build your brand direct to end-buyers. Own, control and monetise the data your land has always produced — with no upfront cost, no subscription, no hardware.
→ Farmers & Fishermen

For chefs and purchasing managers
Direct relationships with the producers feeding your kitchens. With our world-first UK initiative, truth in nutrient density, soil health and biodiversity — portion by portion. At no higher cost (often lower), on existing trading terms.
→ Chefs & Purchasing Managers

What we do: A reengineered supply chain using tech to authenticate from farm soil to end markets

Two Hands is a Digital Trust platform authenticating farm sourced data and every change of custody through to every end market the food serves: chefs' kitchens and diners' plates, institutional head office ESG reporting, and nature markets.

Every event is recorded on blockchain — transparent, auditable and immutable (permanent and can't be changed). Those three properties working in concert deliver something the food system has never had: trust and authenticity at scale. Chefs and diners access it by scanning a QR code attached to every food portion.

But it's not just about our tech. We have reengineered the supply chain, changing the financial incentive structure to benefit producers and chefs.

Farmers own, control and monetise their data through Two Hands digital wallets. And they are paid above market price every time - without chefs or consumers having to pay more. Institutional head offices receive real-time, authenticated scope 3 reporting aggregated up from individual portions. Nature markets receive verified outcomes rather than self-declared claims.

With our world-first UK-based initiative, the nature and nutrient-density impact of that same food will be reported, generating additional income streams for producers.

The result: a food system where nutrition, stewardship and nature impact are visible — and rewarded. At no cost to producers or end-buyers.
→ How It Works

Six years commercial. Two continents. Real producers. Real chefs.

Authenticated from farm soil to end markets.

Two Hands launched in 2019. Forbes published a 3-page feature — one of the few commercialised blockchain applications anywhere outside finance. By December that year, Marriott Group asked us to scale our marketplace fishermen from 4 to 26 in six weeks. We did — and the original four brought every additional fisherman onto the platform.

Producers and chefs who joined at launch are still on the platform today. Producer stickiness is essentially 100%.

Now we are deploying our existing model with a UK hospitality group, UK farmers and fishermen . This will be closely followed by a pilot where Two Hands leads a consortium of six commercially operating companies verifying nutrient density, soil health and nature impact alongside full provenance and chain of custody.

"Two Hands opens up the market, provides me with certainty in pricing, gets the fish to the customer quicker and fresher, and makes sure that chefs know the true provenance of what we do. At the end of the day, it means I can spend more time doing what is important for me and my family: fishing."
— Luke Anedda, Fisher, Corner Inlet, Victoria

“With this QR code, I can see the map and where the produce comes from, how it has been looked after and shipped here. So I really get the best and freshest food.”
- Alistair Carter, Executive Chef, Waldorf Astoria on theBund, Shanghai

Where this leads

The verification layer that does not yet have one

Food system data is incredibly complex, siloed and unverifiable. Two Hands is changing that — authenticating farm source data and every change of custody, at scale, across the full supply chain.

That authenticated data corpus is the foundation for what comes next. AI agents and large language models trained on data they can trust. A food ecosystem large language model. Eventually, a Web3 architecture across an entire industry vertical.

Spotify and Netflix did not fight piracy with legislation. They replaced the architecture. Two Hands is taking the same approach to food systems — market-led, technology-driven, not dependent on government.

Thought leadership

We can see the problem clearly because we've lived it..

Two Hands has been invited to give evidence to the Scottish Parliament on the Digital Assets (Scotland) Bill. We are in active dialogue with industry leaders.

We are members of FinTech Scotland, the Digital Trust Taskforce Scotland, Northern AgriTech Innovation Hub (Easter Bush) and the National Farmers Union Scotland.
‍
The people we work with are global food industry thought leaders.

Importantly, our soul is about bringing heart and closeness to the food experience which is driven by our calling to be the champion of Farmers and Fishermen around the world. In the process, we deliver a solution to significant challenges facing global food systems. Technology is a critical enabler to make this happen. Our Two Hands branding provides inspiration and reassurance. Technology and branding are our competitive differentiators.
