Lack of real transparency and traceability
Processes and origins stay hidden behind the label. Without real traceability, marketing decides for you.
YOUR FOOD CHOICES MATTER
Meet the producers who work to the most demanding standards of health, sustainability and ethics — analysed from a full 360° perspective. We connect those who produce well with those who want to consume better — with a map of points of sale near you and Food Reports that explain exactly how what you eat is produced.
The food systemdoes not work for the consumer
Behind every label there are processes, territories and decisions you never see.
The result: you decide based on marketing, not real information.
Greenwashing and confusing seals
Seals that measure one thing and confuse the rest. More noise, less certainty.
Total producer–consumer disconnect
Producers and consumers never really meet. Without a link, there is no trust or transformation.
How CoCo Sapiens works
Transparency tools
We develop quality standards and analysis tools for agriculture, livestock and fisheries to help understand how food is produced and what impact different production models generate from a holistic, systemic perspective.
About us1
Standards
The heart of CoCo Sapiens. A holistic system of mandatory criteria — from seed genetics to packaging — validated by independent evaluators, product by product. Scopes: Agriculture · Livestock · Fisheries · Aquaculture (in development).
2
Community & tools
We reconnect producers and consumers with a geolocated map of points of sale (retail and hospitality, with prices agreed outside the commodities market), so you can find nearby those who produce with integrity.
3
Food Reports
Rigorous systemic analysis reports focused on food, health, sustainability, production, materials and structural issues in the food system.
4
Support for transformation
We support producers and food projects through a network of accredited consultants, helping them implement more coherent, resilient models aligned with CoCo Sapiens standards.

Food Journal: The life of a tomato
Food loss and waste don't only start in the bin. We follow an illustrative tomato from the field to the kitchen — and ask what the barcode doesn't tell us.

The 'bluewashing' of bottom trawling and km0: the extinction of small-scale fisheries
Behind the friendly "fish market" or "km0" label often sits fish caught by trawling, an industrial method. Direct sales are banned, forcing small-scale fishers onto the same channels and prices as the trawl fleet.
