QUESTION OF THE DAY
CAN FOOD SHARING GO DIGITAL?
YES, IT CAN, AND IT DID
myPlates.io is a great example of how communities can strive
Companies are innovating in today's world. There are 800 million people in our world that are hungry and 40 million U.S. residents struggling with food insecurity.
Plates created a platform that empowers people at the local level to make a difference. Food sharing within a community can directly unite and address the neighbor's needs.
Looking at the video above - How much food gets wasted in your neighborhood? How can you get involved?
Food waste is a regrettable reality today. Approximately $650 billion worth of food goes to waste each year globally.
In the U.S., our contribution to that figure is $165 billion. Chipping away at those figures means consciously approaching food production and consumption. The idea of sharing food within a local economy creates sustainability that will reduce food waste globally.
