Goodr began as a sustainable food-waste management company, bridging the gap between surplus food and Atlanta’s food-insecure communities. In July, the first Goodr Community Market debuted on Edgewood Avenue in Sweet Auburn. “We’re still doing the work we’ve always done,” Jasmine Crowe-Houston explains. “But now we approach it as, ‘How do we help more families who don’t live near fresh food, and make it affordable?’”

Consider this your ultimate directory of neighborhood markets, gourmet and specialty shops, butchers, international grocers, and national and regional retailers.

Goodr’s model is based on the belief that the crises of food insecurity and food waste are not only related, but that each can help solve the other. Among their projects: free grocery stores for seniors and students.

You could argue that no leaders are as critical as the ones working to save our planet. For this year's Groundbreakers, celebrate a few of these innovators who have found novel ways to champion our environment.
