Why we are failing to solve global hunger in a world of waste
In short: Despite unprecedented levels of food waste, one in nine people still faces hunger every night. Jasmine Crowe argues that our current methods are insufficient and calls for a radical shift in how we approach food insecurity.
Crowe challenges the status quo of global food aid, suggesting that routine approaches are failing to bridge the gap between surplus and scarcity. The core of her argument lies in a systemic transformation: moving away from traditional models toward technology-driven solutions.
The proposed shift involves using technology to identify and aggregate unused food. By creating a direct pipeline from waste to those in need, the goal is to turn existing surplus into a reliable resource for the hungry.
