The work started in 2020 by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), WWF, Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic and ReFED created this movement. I’m very proud to join it as we seek to influence the legislative process federally, by state, and locally. If more families are fed because of this; it is worth doing!

My parents, born in 1916 and 1918, lived through the Great Depression. They instilled in me a strong aversion to waste. They even talked about food rationing during the Second World War on common products we now take for granted, such as sugar, coffee, meats, cheese, etc.
As a result, when I start making our family’s shopping list for the week, my first step is to check Flashfood. Given the rise in prices (or shrinkflation), the app provides savings on quality food products. With four teenagers, that adds up.
It is also why the following excerpt from a 2015 article in Food Tank by Emily Nink, MS, CPH, is eyeopening – https://bit.ly/3wOoPbk
“Approximately 30-40 percent of farmers worldwide produce food that is never consumed. Between 21 and 33 percent of water used across US farms is wasted.”
A 2024 report on Food Waste in America by Recycle Track Systems indicates that 16% of all waste comes from farms, 40% from restaurants, grocery stores, and food services, and 43% from homes.
Where in the supply chain do we begin addressing food waste, and how do we do it?
