Afghanistan has long been plagued by armed conflicts and political upheaval. And the country currently only has one agricultural "export product", namely opium. Yet in the west of the country there is the finest saffron, which is harvested and processed by a women's collective. The proceeds are used to support local educational institutions at Conflictfood. The saffron in a glass tube comes in a beautiful box, which not only contains recipes and information about the project, but also enables further use.

Conflictfood is the name of the Berlin-based company run by Gernot Würtenberger and Salem El-Mogaddedi - and the name says it all. The two track down the best agricultural products in crisis regions and bring them to the German market. In line with the motto "Trade not Aid", they focus on sustainable change and long-term positive change through trade in places where trade is not a matter of course. They always build direct relationships without middlemen and pay their partners fair prices. In this way, they strengthen local economic structures in conflict regions, combat poverty and create peaceful prospects.
