From the Founder’s Table: Why We Must Flip the Coin — A Reflection on UNGA Week and the Launch of the Foode Foundation
During a lunch we curated for The Global Fund and Chelsea Clinton at UNGA week, these words rang through the room, delivered by a spoken word artist currently performing on Broadway. More than a quote, it was a catalyst — setting the stage for a powerful conversation around the very issues that the Global Fund is so deeply committed to tackling: HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. This dining experience, which Foode meticulously designed, didn’t just feed people, it sparked the kind of dialogue the world desperately needs.
From the Founder’s Table: Finding Purpose in the Everyday Moments
There’s a saying that great things come from small beginnings. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with me, especially as I reflect on my journey with Foode. I recently came across a post by The Young Homestead that beautifully captured this idea. The post talked about the simple yet profound impact of small, everyday actions — like raising a few chickens or starting a garden — that help reduce food waste and bring us closer to the source of our food.
This got me thinking about how the little things we do every day can have a big impact, especially when it comes to food waste. As someone deeply involved in the food industry, it’s a message that hits home on both a personal and professional level.
