Greenhouse gas emissions from our global food system exceed those from all cars, trains, and planes combined, necessitating decarbonization efforts in food production and supply chains.
One-third of global food is wasted; in the US, 40% is discarded, leading to 130 billion uneaten meals annually and exacerbating health disparities and food insecurity.
Food waste costs the US $444 billion annually, affecting businesses like restaurants spending $162 billion yearly on food waste, emphasizing the need for sustainability and corporate involvement.
All businesses, not just food companies, play a vital role in creating a sustainable food system, with opportunities to involve employees, customers, and contribute to environmental and social benefits.
