The Delicious Potential of Rescuing Wasted Food | Jasmine Crowe-Houston | TED
Summary
Jasmine Crowe-Houston, founder of Goodr, addresses the issue of food waste and hunger. Inspired by a personal experience with a man allergic to nuts while distributing food to those experiencing homelessness, she recognized the loss of dignity in charity. Goodr tackles this by diverting edible food from landfills to shelters and communities, while also creating sustainable food solutions like free grocery stores in schools. The key takeaway is that businesses can be motivated by sustainability goals and data, and that prioritizing feeding hungry people is crucial.
