Business for Good: Turning Food Waste into Sustainable Businesses | Online
About this event
Business for Good is a panel series where we bring together industry experts to examine how businesses can operate more sustainably and make positive social impacts.
In this interactive panel discussion, leaders from misson-driven startups will discuss the power of business in reducing food waste.
Why it matters:
From the farm to your plate, there’s food waste at every step. Around 40% of the food produced in the U.S. is wasted every year and Americans spend $165B every year in food that's rotting in landfills.
According to a 2013 analysis by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, the land devoted to producing wasted food would be the second-largest country in the world — smaller than Russia but considerably larger than Canada.
