Food Recovery Data Automation

Why Food Recovery Matters

Food recovery programs are crucial in addressing food insecurity, with over 47 million Americans* facing hunger while millions of pounds of consumable food go to waste each year. By redirecting surplus food to those in need, organizations can make a meaningful impact in their communities, realize millions of dollars in tax savings, and mitigate food waste—ultimately boosting both financial and environmental sustainability. Leveraging Azure’s robust data and automation capabilities, Point B enables businesses to optimize their food recovery programs, ensuring measurable and impactful results.
