<b>Wasted food comes at an enormous financial and environmental cost. In the US, food is the largest single source of waste. </b>
<ul>
<li>40% of all food never makes it to the table. That's about 20 lbs per person per month at a cost of $165 billion each year.
</li>
<li>30% of all food, worth $48 billion, is thrown away annually.
</li>
<li>Food production accounts for approx. 16% of energy use, 50% of land, and 80% of freshwater consumed.
</li>
</ul>
Our panelists will discuss how they're fighting wasted food by working with farmers, distributors, and foodservice providers.
