    Did you know 38% of food in the U.S. went unsold or uneaten in 2023?

    That’s 80 million tons wasted—while 1 in 7 Americans struggles with hunger. Food waste isn’t just a social issue; it’s an environmental one too. Wasted food means wasted water, energy, and resources, and it creates harmful greenhouse gases.
