Be A Zero #NoFoodWaste

Be A Zero and learn how to practice zero food waste this month!

Did you know that we waste up to 40% of our food? Almost half! Yet one in seven people in the US is food insecure. Since we are the largest slice of the food waste pie—making up over 40%—reducing waste at home is key, but over 60% of waste happens before food even gets to our homes. 

Sign up and each week we’ll fill you in on the larger picture of food waste along the supply chain.
