Waste Not, Want not: Tackling Food Waste in Your Company

Marriott, Orange County Ballroom 3

Emissions related to food waste from farm to landfill are a significant contributor to climate change. However, food waste is a tricky problem— one where collaborations through the supply chain must be leveraged to obtain impactful results. Join the Climate Collaborative, Dana Gunders and leading brands and retailers to discuss how businesses are committing to food waste reduction in their supply chains thereby helping reduce climate change impacts while increasing profits.   Innovative solutions for food waste recovery can divert food to higher value uses including feeding hungry people, animals, industrial fuel conversion and energy recovery, and more, thereby reducing the need for additional food and feed.  Relevant New Hope Content "Fighting Food Waste: Companies at the Forefront"
