Connecting Communities Through Food and Technology
Manage episode 336355743 series 3086415
On this episode, I'm talking to Brook Sheehan and Rema Abedkader, best friends and co-founders of Cup O' Sugar, a mobile app that connects neighbors over sharing and requesting food ingredients.
With Cup O' Sugar, users can request ingredients that they forgot to grab during their store run and if there is excess food at home, they can offer it up to those who may need it by simply scanning its UPC code. The app also features a 1-to-1 chat that allows users to connect with their neighbors while still practicing social distancing.
In this interview, we discuss:
- How Cup O' Sugar is helping people find much-needed ingredients while maintaining social distancing
- How we can use technology to make real life connections
- How this app is helping combat food waste
- Why food remains the biggest connector of communities
