Celebrating World Food Day with Our Global Growers

Today marks World Food Day (16 October). Organised by the United Nations, this annual event unites the global food community to champion a shared goal: creating a fairer, more sustainable agrifood system for everyone.

For us at MWW, this isn’t just another day on the calendar; it’s a core principle we live by every day, across every site, and with every grower we work alongside.

We’re proud to partner with a global network of passionate growers who are not only producing world-class fresh produce but doing so in ways that are better for the planet, while supporting local communities, and protecting the next generation of farmers.

Supporting Sustainable Agriculture

From smarter irrigation systems and regenerative soil management to renewable energy and low-impact packaging, our partners across the globe are embracing change and innovation to grow more with less. All while still delivering the vibrant freshness our customers expect.

For us, these are long-term investments in people, produce and the planet. They enable us to help protect biodiversity, reduce food waste, and enable our farming communities to continue to thrive even in the face of climate and economic challenges.

Building Relationships That Matter

Here at MWW, sustainability starts with our people. Many of our relationships with growers span decades, grounded in mutual trust, transparency and a deep-rooted passion for doing things the right way.

By working side-by-side, we’re able to share knowledge across our teams, respond to developing challenges, and strengthen the resilience of our global supply chain together.

A Global Network with Local Roots

From the sun-drenched groves of Spain to the citrus orchards of South Africa, the greenhouses of Morocco to farms across the UK, our growers are the beating heart of our business. Their dedication ensures we can offer responsibly sourced, high-quality fresh produce to our customers all year round.

Sustainability at MWW is not just a single initiative; it’s a shared journey 365 days a year. One we take with our growers, partners, and customers as we continue to champion ethical sourcing, sustainable innovation, and strong supplier relationships across the fresh produce chain.

And so, when we celebrate #WorldFoodDay today, we also want to say a heartfelt thank you to every grower, supplier, and colleague helping us deliver food that doesn't just taste good but does good too.
