Jeanice Lee talks to Nkemdilim Nwosu, Director of Communications of Food Forward. Serving the community since 2009, it started when a group of volunteers saw food going to waste in a neighborhood backyard. They mobilized a group of volunteers to recover the food and then donate it to a local food pantry. They are a plate-based model so everything they recover comes from nature. They work with growers, private estates, private backyards, and the produce industry to recover surplus produce. This helps the local economy and helps keep fresh food out of the landfill. Volunteers welcome. (FoodForward.org)
