NGPO
The Naturally Grown Produce Association (NGPO) is an organization dedicated towards eliminating food waste in local New York City communities, specifically within produce. Not only are they driven to eliminate food waste, but also encourage the natural/non-GMO/biodynamic cultivation of produce.
NYC alone faces an astonishing 72 billion pounds of food waste each year! That’s about 40% of food that goes uneaten each year. Of all the food being uneaten, 20 billion pounds of fruit and vegetables go uneaten. Although this phenomenon is a sad reality, it was an equally great opportunity to better understand the social-cultural causalities of these behaviors.
Strategy
In partnership with NYC, a brand campaign was created for NGPO showcasing the healthy and edible benefits of eating ripened produce. The creative strategy was fundamentally rooted in showing that fruit can still be healthy and edible despite not appearing so from the outside. Strategic and playful copywriting was implemented to establish trust with the target audience.
