About Jennifer England

I am a founder, systems builder, and national leader working where food rescue, circular economy innovation, and climate impact come together.As a founding executive at 412 Food Rescue, I helped design and scale one of the largest volunteer-powered and technology-driven food rescue operations in the United States. I co-created the Food Rescue Hero platform, the first technology built specifically for last-mile surplus food logistics, and led its expansion across North America. This work has helped redirect tens of millions of pounds of food from landfills to people who need it most.Today, I serve as the Founder and Co-Chair of the National Food Recovery Association, where I bring together organizations, policymakers, and innovators to transform how surplus food is managed across the country. My work spans operations, technology, and policy, with a consistent focus on building systems that are scalable and create measurable impact.I believe surplus food is not a supply chain problem - it is a coordination problem.And when we solve it, we address climate, hunger, and community resilience at the same time.If you are working on circular economy solutions, food policy, climate impact, or tech for good, I would love to connect.
