ZERO HUNGRY PEOPLE FACILITATING PLATFORM

Abstract: A cycle of hunger and food waste seems impossible to stop. Food Waste, Food Security, and Food Justice are the three principles that govern the Red Cross's work on the relation between food and health [1]. When we consider the three principles, there are several facets to the work we could highlight: from our pioneering research that led to the 2011 publication of "The Road to Zero Hunger: A Global Imperative" (a working paper that lays out the relation of food and health and why we must achieve Food Security and Food Justice) [2]; to our partnerships with universities, government agencies, and NGOs (including work in the United States with Feeding America and the Love Food, Hate Waste initiative) unravelling the complicated causes and consequences of the intersection of food waste and hunger [3]; to the development of Zero Hungry People, the online platform/operating system that is designed for volunteers, supervisors, and the served to achieve the aims of the program. (By the way, "Zero Hungry People" is a title straight from the work of the Red Cross) Key Words: Food Security, Food Justice, Food Waste Reduction, Zero Hunger Initiatives, Community-Based Food Systems.
