El delicioso potencial de rescatar alimentos desperdiciados

¿Qué pasaría si la solución del hambre no consistiera en producir más alimentos sino en desperdiciar menos? La emprendedora social Jasmine Crowe-Houston ha hecho que esa idea sea misión con Goodr, una plataforma que desvía los alimentos sobrantes a aquellos que los necesitan. En una conversación con la periodista y presentadora de 'TED Radio Hour' Manoush Zomorodi, Jasmine comparte cómo un momento viral condujo a un esfuerzo a nivel nacional para arreglar el problema del desperdicio de alimentos.

Solving hunger is less about growing more food and more about redirecting the massive surplus that ends up in landfills. Nearly 40 percent of food in the United States is wasted, enough that if food waste were a country, it would rank as the third largest by volume. Innovative logistics and technology now make it possible to match this excess with people in need, restoring dignity and reducing environmental harm. By transforming waste management, communities can tackle both hunger and climate impact together.
