Zero Hunger | Zero Waste
Did you know nearly 1/3 of food produced in the U.S. is thrown away?
That equals approximately 74 million tons of surplus available food goes unsold or uneaten every year. At the same time, more than 44 million Americans – one in seven – struggle with hunger. This just doesn’t make sense.
