Food waste is a global problem, but could freezing food with solar power be the answer to cutting the waste?
No one wants food to go to waste. There are organizations collecting donated food that would soon spoil, and delivering it to non-profits trying to address food insecurity.
Working with other non-profit organizations, and with $2 million dollars provided by Orange County for an emergency meal program, Abound Food Care has developed a logistics solution, helped in part by a solar-powered freezer at Anaheim High School. The portable freezer is a prototype with several others being built for use in Orange County. It provides the opportunity to preserve meals for use when needed in areas known as food deserts, and in the event of a natural disaster, the food would also be available to anyone in need.
In repurposed kitchens across the county like the one at Monkey Business Café in Fullerton, each course is individually packaged and vacuum-sealed before storage. Its two kitchens working at once, with young people building a resume.
