Industry : Advocacy

Founder and executive director of Scholars of Sustenance Foundation (SOS), Bo H. Holmgreen is redefining how food is distributed by running a food rescue foundation with the goal to tackle the food deficit issue and put good nutrition into the hands of those who need it. Established in 2016, SOS became the first food rescue foundation in Thailand and has been unstoppably and successfully running food rescue operations ever since. Their food rescue impact includes over 20 million meals served to communities, almost 5 million kilogrammes of food rescued, and providing support to over one thousand communities. Apart from focussing on the enormous food waste from hotels and food stores, reprocessing it and safely distributing it to poor villages, SOS is also creating Circular Economies by avoiding food waste ending up in landfills emitting methane gases. With this environmental focus, SOS is certainly killing two birds with one stone, for a good cause.
