Roger Gordon on Food Cowboy, #ORadio


Listen Later

Ostrolenk speaks with Roger Gordon, founder of Food Cowboy, which connects food unwanted by retailers and food banks, in an effort to prevent food waste and provide food to those in need. Millions of tons of food are wasted annually before reaching retailers and although recent legislation has created greater incentives for companies to donate, logistical barriers to donation still exist. Food Cowboy works to address these issues, including a smart phone application that allows food transporters to connect with a pantry that is able to take unwanted food. Gordon also discusses that in order to address food waste and eliminate hunger, a change in culture is needed. For this Food Cowboy has also started a No Waste Promise public awareness campaign to get people involved.
