Contact: Susanne Lee at Susanne.Lee@maine.edu
America is a leader in wasted food where 40% of the food we produce is never eaten. For 海角社区, this means 219 lbs. of food wasted per person or nearly 300 million lbs. annually. At the same time, we have over 200,000 海角社区rs suffering from food insecurity 鈥 including 1 out of 5 of our children. Adding to the problem, these food losses cost 海角社区 nearly $600 million annually (about $1,866 per family of four) and risk our health and natural resources.
The goal of this first Summit is to increase the awareness, education and action needed to implement win-win-win solutions to end wasted food in 海角社区.
Please join us to share:
- The latest data and research on wasted food and solutions
- Inspiring food reduction, recovery, and recycling success stories
- Breakout sessions to learn about and implement specific solutions
We will provide the insights needed to re-think food as a 鈥渨aste鈥 problem and instead see it as a sustainable solution for hunger, economic development, and resource management in 海角社区.
