The Vital Role of Business in Alleviating Hunger
In episode four of Food For Change: Serving
Solutions for People and Planet, dig into the role of businesses from across
industries to alleviate hunger and reduce waste — because food banking isn’t just good for people and planet, it’s good for business and economies.
Gonzalo Muñoz, UN climate change high-level champion and co-founder of Ambition Loop and Manuia, shares his lifelong connection to food systems and climate action, underscoring the immorality of food waste. He explains the powerful role businesses and governments can play in systemic transformation, especially through science-based targets and waste
reduction policies. He also points to opportunities at COP30 to align food
systems with climate goals and cites food recovery as a key solution.
Stephanie Slingerland, Kellanova’s chief philanthropy officer, reflects on her 20 years in social impact work and Kellanova’s long partnership with GFN, highlighting how it evolved from food donations to broader initiatives such as school feeding, climate-smart meal solutions, and wellbeing research. She emphasizes the value of deep, strategic partnerships over superficial ones, and the balance between tried-and-true solutions and innovation.
Danny Flores, senior manager of H-E-B’s Hunger Relief Program, discusses his 30-year journey at H-E-B, from mechanic to leading hunger relief. He describes the company’s deep history of giving, its role in co-founding GFN, and the importance of data to guide donations and improve supply chains. Flores stresses staff education, flexibility between retailers and food banks and the need to donate more safe, edible food.
