Leveraging technology to combat hunger
“Hunger is not an issue of scarcity; it’s a matter of logistics,” Jasmine Crowe, CEO + Founder of Goodr.
Goodr provides a secure ledger that tracks an organization’s surplus food from pickup to donation, delivering real-time social and environmental impact reporting analytics. The Goodr model aims to provide a triple-win solution by improving an organization’s bottom line through charitable tax donations, reducing its greenhouse emissions from landfills and getting its edible surplus food to local communities in need.
Every year in the United States, we waste over 72 billion pounds of edible food, yet 42 million people are suffering from food insecurity. At the same time, over $40 billion in tax benefits for businesses goes unclaimed annually. Goodr believes the solution is simple: Feed more, waste less.
