Addressing Hunger, Food Insecurity--Local Solutions to a Global Problem
Manage episode 338970208 series 2917058
We live in a time of food paradox. In a world of historically unprecedented abundance, many don’t have enough to eat.
Life-limiting obesity coexists with malnutrition - at the same time, sometimes in the very same place.
Food is the complex and critical subject that we will talk about today with Joseph Gitler who works to address the issue at a local, concrete level. He feeds the hungry.
Back in 2003 Joseph Gitler was moved to act when he saw significant food waste in Israel at a time of rising poverty. He founded the nonprofit organization Leket, that has since become the largest food rescue organization in the country.
