I think we're reaching that tipping point with food waste. Now I think we're seeing so many people are generating awareness that, yeah, I think you're totally right that we all have to keep telling our friends and keep making it an issue so that folks care and in turn spread the word.
Imagine a world where restaurant leftovers don’t end up in the bin but on your dinner table instead. That’s the vision of Sabine Valenga, co-founder of Food for All. In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, Sabine shares her inspiring journey from a graduate student to a pioneering entrepreneur tackling food waste head-on. Every year, over 700,000 restaurants in the US discard 11 million pounds of food.
Sabine's innovative business model aims to change that by sourcing surplus food from these restaurants and offering it to individuals at a discount. This not only helps reduce food waste but also makes meals more affordable for everyone. You'll hear about the surprising reasons behind restaurant food waste and get some delicious tips on what to do with surplus herbs.
Sabine also discusses how businesses and nonprofits can collaborate to cut down on waste and addresses common misconceptions about hunger in America. Whether you’re dreaming of starting your own eco-friendly venture, keen on saving money on meals, or simply interested in sustainability, this episode has nuggets of wisdom for you. Sabine’s story is a testament to how small actions can lead to significant change.
By creating a marketplace for surplus food, Food for All is not just rescuing meals but also fostering a culture of sustainability. Tune in to discover how you can be part of this movement and make a difference in your community.
