Goodr Uses Tech to Stop Food Waste and Feed Hungry People

Goodr is a company that fights hunger by using technology to rescue food that would otherwise be thrown away. Founded in 2017 by Jasmine Crowe-Houston in Atlanta, Goodr is a certified B Corp that helps businesses donate their extra food to nonprofits that feed hungry people. The company uses special software and blockchain technology to track food from businesses to food banks and community groups. This creates a win-win-win situation: businesses save money on waste disposal, the environment benefits from less food going to landfills, and hungry people get fed. Goodr has already saved nearly 5 million pounds of food and served millions of meals across the country. Their founder believes that hunger isn't about not having enough food - it's about getting food to the right places. The company also runs pop-up markets in communities that need better access to fresh food. By connecting the dots between food waste and hunger, Goodr shows how smart technology can solve big social problems while helping the environment.
