The Man Who Turned Leftovers Into a Hunger Solution.

Israeli Trailblazers

Gideon Ben Ami, is the mastermind behind Pesia's Kitchen. This entrepreneur, with a background in running hotels and restaurant chains, decided retirement wasn't his style. Instead, he set out on a mission to tackle hunger in Israel head-on by rescuing uneaten food. In 2021 alone, Pesia's Kitchen served up a staggering 1 million meals using rescued food at a mind-blowing cost of just .32 cents per meal. Gideon didn't stop there; he partnered with big shots like Google and Waze, convincing corporate kitchens to donate their unused meals. It's not just about saving the 'ugly fruit' in the fields; it's a business model that can end hunger in Israel and across the globe. Imagine a world where volunteers unite to rescue food destined for the trash and instead use it to nourish those in need. Join me for this awe-inspiring story – the best twenty minutes you'll spend today. It's a revolutionary journey through the power of rescuing food and ending hunger one meal at a time.
