UPS logistics expert Dan Canale offers a sobering firsthand look at why tons of food donations never reach the people who desperately need them. The problems -- which include congested ports, disorganized warehouses, lack of decent equipment and roads -- are considerable, yet there are potential solutions to each, as Canale points out.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
