In a world that's wasting more food than ever before, why do one in nine people still go to bed hungry each night? Social entrepreneur Jasmine Crowe calls for a radical transformation to our fight to end global hunger -- challenging us to rethink our routine approaches to addressing food insecurity and sharing how we can use technology to gather unused food and deliver it directly to people in need.

What we're getting wrong in the fight to end hunger

Current efforts to fight hunger rely on well-intentioned but outdated methods, like food drives that fill bags with snacks but not real meals. In a world where 80 billion pounds of food are wasted in the US each year, millions still go to bed hungry. Technology and smarter logistics can redirect surplus food to those who need it, turning waste into nourishment. True progress comes from rethinking what it means to feed people with dignity and purpose.
