It is 2024 now. Manitoba farmer Isaiah Hofer faced a big challenge this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of potatoes — each weighing 100 pounds — Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. He was anxious and couldn’t think of a better way.
现在是2024年。曼尼托巴农民Isaiah Hofer今年面临着巨大的挑战。带着近100,000袋土豆——每袋重100镑——霍弗开始思考如何处理数百万磅的食物。看来,他不得不浪费这些土豆。他很焦虑,想不出更好的办法。
Luckily, The Farmlink Project came to help in time. It turned the potential waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since its foundation four years ago. Farmlink has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce, to those in need across the United States and beyond.
幸运的是,Farmlink项目及时提供了帮助。它将潜在的废物变成了整个北美有需要的家庭的生命线。自四年前成立以来,Farmlink项目一直在帮助解决此类问题。Farmlink已成功向美国及其他地区有需要的人提供了2.2亿磅的新鲜农产品。
Hofer’s difficult situation caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. They quickly got in touch with Hofer. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico.
霍弗的困境引起了基斯通马铃薯生产者协会的注意。他们很快与Hofer取得了联系。他们讨论了如何处理这些土豆。之后,115卡车被派往多伦多,不列颠哥伦比亚省,圣地亚哥和新墨西哥州的食品银行运送他的土豆。
Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of The Farmlink Project, said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met.
Farmlink项目的首席营销官兼联合创始人凯特·尼尔森 (Kate Nelson) 表示,这是该项目有史以来最大的捐赠之一。
Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his happiness in being able to give back. “When you’re blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared.
回顾这段经历,霍弗表达了他能够回馈的快乐。“当你得到这么多的祝福时,回馈是件好事……我很高兴我们能做到这一点,“他分享道。
