Food waste is a larger-than-life problem, a feature of our global food system, not a bug. Certainly, a problem so big that a single individual couldn't help to solve it. However, it turns out that food waste is both a challenge and a solution. One that can be tackled by an informed individual or community.
We need to increase our current food yields by 70% to meet future food demands. Solving the issue of food waste can reduce those needs by 30-50%. Moreover, reducing food waste can also help lessen climate change's impact, another far-reaching challenge to our global food system.
But what can an individual do to help solve the problem of food waste in their lives? How does Philadelphia measure up to food waste? Join Hungry Education's Future of Food Meetup and Drexel University's Food Lab to get an insider view of food waste, the challenge, and food waste the solution.
