The Israeli Model Feeds 400,000 A Week Using Surplus Food—and How Your City Can Too

Jennifer Weissmann Season 5 Episode 53

From Food Waste to Lifesaving Meals.  In this episode of The Israeli Trailblazers Podcast, host Jennifer Weissmann sits down with Joseph Gitler, founder of Leket Israel, to explore how one bold idea turned into a national model for fighting hunger and climate change.  Leket rescues surplus food—from hotel buffets to corporate cafeterias—and delivers it to those in need across Israel. What can’t be eaten is sent to animals or composted, creating a near-zero waste system that feeds over 400,000 people each week.  🍎 From rescued apples to applesauce and baby food, this is food waste transformed into dignity and impact.  If you care about climate, food security, or scalable solutions your city could replicate—this is a must-listen.✅ Subscribe now to discover how Israel is quietly feeding the future.
