Divert’s Post

As much as 100 billion pounds of food goes to waste in the U.S. each year while millions of Americans go hungry. We're determined to change those numbers and that's why we're thrilled to collaborate with Feeding America to scale data-driven solutions to move more excess food from retail grocers into the donation stream. Together we can achieve their goal of increasing food recovery by one billion pounds per year. #FoodRecovery #ProtectingTheValueOfFood https://lnkd.in/ed_AbiGd

Divert is collaborating with Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the U.S., on an industry-leading initiative to scale complementary data-driven solutions and sustainable infrastructure that optimize food donations and address the food insecurity crisis. Together, we aim to bring more streamlined and actionable insights to retailers and drive a paradigm shift for how wasted food is managed across the U.S. Read more about our collaboration here: https://ow.ly/Ch1y50SkOJV #FoodSecurity #ZeroWasteFuture #Sustainability #ProtectingTheValueOfFood

We're encouraged to see this new level of federal collaboration to prevent and reduce wasted food, especially the expanded membership of U.S. Food Loss and Waste 2030 Champions. The membership is for businesses and organizations that are publicly committing to reduce wasted food in their U.S. operations by 50% by 2030. The data, technology, and infrastructure exist today to achieve this ambitious goal. https://lnkd.in/e_g_fyxG
