Could we end global hunger simply by managing our existing food supply better?
In short: Social entrepreneur Jasmine Crowe-Houston argues that the solution to food insecurity lies in logistics rather than increased production. She explains how her organization, Goodr, redirects excess edible goods to those experiencing hunger, transforming a systemic inefficiency into a community resource.
Jasmine Crowe-Houston founded Goodr to address the paradox of widespread hunger existing alongside massive food waste. Her approach focuses on the redistribution of surplus items that would otherwise be discarded by businesses.
The initiative began following a viral experience that highlighted the scale of the issue, eventually evolving into a national operation. By utilizing technology to bridge the gap between providers and those in need, the platform aims to prove that hunger is a problem of distribution rather than a lack of available nutrition.
