that are living food insecure,

which means they never know when

and where that next meal is coming from.

But I believe that this is a solvable problem.

I'm Jasmine Crowe, founder and CEO of Goodr.

The reality is that one in six Americans

are struggling with food insecurity.

And it's startling to hear.

Every month people have to make a critical decision.

They have to choose between paying for bills

and paying for food.

But hunger is not an issue of scarcity.

It's a matter of logistics.

Every year in the United States,

we waste 72 billion pounds of perfectly good food.

Food from the grocery stores that we shop at,

the restaurants that we eat at.

This is enough food every single day

to fill up an entire football stadium.

This food ends up in landfills

and produces harmful methane gas,

a leading contributor to climate change.

So we're wasting all of this food.

But we have all these people that are going hungry.

So we have two problems

that can virtually solve each other.

When I first moved to Atlanta, Georgia,

I drove through downtown,

and I saw hundreds of people that were homeless.

Something moved me in that moment,

and I was like, I want to do something.

I didn't have a lot of money,

but I knew that I could cook.

And so I posted on Facebook, got some volunteers,

and went out and started feeding people.

And a video of one of my pop-up restaurants went viral,

and people were saying, "This is so amazing.

Which restaurants donated the food?"

And the reality was, none.

It got me thinking,

why aren't businesses donating this food?

So in 2017, I created Goodr,

a sustainable food waste management company.

We leverage technology to get excess food

that would otherwise go to waste

right into the hands of people

who would otherwise go hungry.

We've created a very easy user experience.

We simply inventory everything it is that a business sells,

so that at the end of the night

when they have excess food

that would otherwise go to landfill,

with the click of a button on an app,

they can request a pickup.

We get that food delivered right away,

within a 5 to 10 mile radius

to non-profit organizations and people that need it.

Businesses have the opportunity

to write off up to 30 percent

of their annual income in food donations.

They're empowering their community,

and they're improving their carbon footprint.

If we use the same technology that we've used

to propel us forward in so many other areas

to solve hunger and solve food waste,

we will solve real challenges for real people.

Imagine a world where nobody goes to bed hungry,

and no food goes to waste.
