It's actually quite clear.

We don't have a universal system.

where everyone is speaking the same language.

There is no core product or platform where all of these food organizations and companies can connect their people to their inventory and then connecting the people in the inventory to potential delivery.

So that's something that I've actually been working on in the background.

What a certain product is going to be launching fairly soon.

What I learned is that this is not

complicated.

I think it takes a lot to pull off big ideas, but I think just with where I am in my journey, I'm starting to look and see more and more what's missing in terms of just the tools needed

To ultimately just connect the food system, because right now, by and large, the food system is disconnected from home all the way upstream to the farm is just inefficient, is disconnected.

Nobody's talking to each other.

And a lot of times that just leaves a lot of room for innovation and improvement.

Well, I think the problem is also how food waste has been positioned.

The problem is that it was communicated as the solution, not as one of the solutions.

And so even though that's not really what we focused on, there is a place for food waste to really get under control because it's out of hand right now.

You can't have people starving and wasting millions of pounds of food.

I think that immediately speaks to number one, ordering issues.

It speaks to how we've yet to evolve what happens when we've ordered or procured too much.

I just think that right now, when we think about food waste first, we have to get beyond the liability conversation.

You can have a way of changing the liability language so that this food is not being wasted.
