Gary Oppenheimer Biography
Gary Oppenheimer, a World Food Prize nominee and CNN Hero, is the founder and executive director of AmpleHarvest.org, a non-profit organization praised for its work to reduce food waste and hunger on a national scale. The organization enables the country's 62 million gardeners to share their excess produce with food pantries throughout the country. It has earned endorsements from prominent figures and institutions, including Michelle Obama, the National Council of Churches, and the USDA. Oppenheimer's dedication to resolving societal issues is further demonstrated by his creation of FaithFightsFoodWaste.org, a program designed to encourage faith leaders to preach about food waste.
In addition to his work with AmpleHarvest.org, Oppenheimer is a nationally recognized keynote and plenary speaker, often addressing university audiences. His speaking engagements include two TEDx presentations, a Google talk, and a presentation to the USDA People's Garden Initiative Conference. He has also hosted a webinar for USDA employees, focusing on the intersection of gardening and hunger. These activities, along with his recognition as a Huff Post Game Changer and "Best Person" by Yahoo! and ABC News, underline his credibility and influence in the realm of food waste management.
Oppenheimer's background as a Master Gardener, Rutgers Environmental Steward, former community garden director, and environmental commissioner in northern New Jersey further emphasizes his expertise in environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. He has been featured in Kelly Eldredge's book "More Than Me," which dedicates a chapter to his work with AmpleHarvest.org. In addition to his work, Oppenheimer is an advisor to the Food Recovery Network and enjoys hobbies that align with his passion for nature, such as boating, hiking, and farming.
