About
Globally, more than 33% of the food we produce is wasted. Meanwhile, more than 10% of the population experiences serious hunger - nearly 800 million. Our AI anticipates wasted food, arranges its donation, and gives food suppliers documentation to claim tax deductions. Food suppliers reduce waste and increase profit margins. People in need get fed.
Key Benefits
The system is profitable; tax deductions increase global food retail profit margins by 80%. Food rescue can reduce large-retailer yearly global carbon footprint by 12,000 metric tons, and feeding the world adds value to the retailer's brand– 70% of consumers want to know how the brands they support are addressing social and environmental issues.
An average grocery store can rescue 50 tons of food per store location annually, translating to approximately 30 thousand meals saved each year.
