In a significant step towards combating food waste and addressing food insecurity, Scholars of Sustenance (SOS), a global food rescue foundation, organized the Zero Summit Philippines on August 8, 2023.
Food is sourced from various food-related enterprises and redistributed to communities in the Philippines.
Established in 2016, Scholars of Sustenance is an international foundation dedicated to food rescue, with operations spanning Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. SOS's overarching goal is to optimize the food system within each country, curbing the avoidable wastage of excess food and promoting fair food distribution.
“There is an abundance of food available, and our mission at SOS is to ensure it reaches those in need,” said James Leyson, SOS Managing Director for the Philippines and Thailand."Reducing food waste and alleviating hunger requires a multifaceted restructuring of the entire food system, from production and distribution to consumption.
Mayor Belmonte shared,"Since 2010, urban agriculture has been a core initiative to strengthen grassroots food security and make healthy food available to those in need." The city has also taken a significant step by implementing the country's first healthy food procurement policy. This policy ensures that public funds are spent only on nutritious food.
