“Food waste is one of the biggest climate challenges we face, and the most solvable.”

After years in the food industry, founding Purple Carrot and working closely with Farmlink Project, I witnessed the disconnect between abundance and scarcity. That led to a simple idea: what if carbon credits could fund food rescue? Brightly was built to make that possible, turning wasted food into measurable climate action and giving businesses the tools to lead real change.
