Houston Board Of Food Security

10/01/2026

We have an exciting opportunity to make a positive impact for our farmers, gardeners, and the entire transportation industry in the city. Currently, when shipping large volumes of goods, we rely on wooden pallets that often end up discarded and wasted. Imagine if we embraced reusable solutions instead! This is our chance to be more eco-conscious, rethink sustainability, and transform how we handle products throughout their entire life cycle.
