Defining the News
In observance of World Hunger Day, online food and grocery delivery platform foodpanda is stepping up its efforts to combat hunger and malnutrition through its sustainability program, “Let’s Do our Pau-rt” .
“The effects of hunger and malnutrition are far-reaching, because it impacts entire generations worldwide. But by starting locally, we can make global ripples against this crisis,” said foodpanda Philippines CEO Daniel Marogy. “Given how successful the first initial run was, we wanted to continue our engagement with WFP so that more local beneficiaries will receive donated meals from our app users through our platform,” said Marogy.
“Our aim is to redirect these near-expiry items to those who can still benefit from them, rather than letting them go to waste. This is a significant step against food wastage given that globally, about a third of food produced is lost or spoiled, with Filipino households alone wasting nearly 3 million tons annually.”
