Project Description and Impact

Communications Expert to Address Food Insecurity in Latin America

Our communications and storytelling strategy

There are over 2 billion people in the world who suffer from food insecurity. It doesn’t have to be this way if we consider that we waste over a third of the food that we produce in the world - food that is perfectly edible, but ends up discarded for reasons such as aesthetic or packaging defects, or because the food is about to expire.

We are a social enterprise dedicated to fighting malnutrition and food insecurity by rescuing food at risk of being wasted and distributing it in low income neighborhoods. We have developed technology to rescue food products from producers and retailers, and offer them online at 30% to 50% of their market price among soup kitchens in low income neighborhoods. We are currently operating in Argentina, Mexico and Puerto Rico, where we have delivered over 3 million plates of food to over 90,000 people.

Given our explosive growth in the last six months, we are seeking an experteer to support us in developing a marketing and communications strategy. We started as a small organization that distributed food from small farmers in Argentina, and now we have clients and partners like the United Nations, the Clinton Foundation, Walmart, Marriott International and Siemens. We have never developed a communications strategy, and we feel we need it urgently to succeed at this scale.
