In the United States, food waste is estimated at 30-40% of food produced. While food is lost throughout the process from production to consumption, much of this loss happens at the retail and consumer levels. At the same time, 42 million Americans are food insecure—they don’t know where their next meal will be coming from. Join the conversation and hear how this level of food waste impacts food security, resource conservation, climate change and more. Learn about both local and global efforts to reduce food waste and meet waste reduction goals.
