Food Waste: The Antithesis of the Triple Bottom Line

The issue of food waste is not a new topic among sustainability professionals, but it has just recently been gaining increased attention from government agencies, media and the general public. Stresses on food production systems due to multiple social, economic and environmental factors have revealed alarming statistics about the amount, causes and consequences of wasted food in the US and globally. This presentation will dive into the food waste problem and share information about the Food Waste Reduction Alliance, a unique industry collaboration working to address this problem.
