Description

Unpacking the tech and logistics behind equitable nutrition access.

Today, we’re joined by Ady Beitler, co-founder and CEO of Nilus, a pioneering social enterprise tackling one of the great injustices of our time: the high cost of being poor.

In this powerful episode, “Beating the Food Desert: How Nilus Makes Healthy Food Affordable in Favelase,” we explore how Nilus is using technology to dismantle inefficient supply chains and give low-income communities access to food and goods at fair prices. By harnessing disintermediation, food rescue, and community group buying, Nilus is rewriting the economics of scarcity, with dignity and scale.

Ady brings a sharp lens to the intersection of logistics, impact, and innovation, backed by a background in finance, years of field experience, and an unshakable belief that systemic inequality can be solved with practical tools and bold ideas.

TBLI Radical Truth features unfiltered conversations with leaders who challenge the status quo and bring sustainable solutions to life.

Let’s begin our conversation with Ady Beitler of Nilus.

This is Radical Truth.
