company news about Benefits of Less Food Waste

Food waste occurs along the entire spectrum of production, from the farm to distribution to retailers to the consumer. Reasons include losses from mold, pests, or inadequate climate control; losses from cooking; and intentional food waste.

Benefits of Less Food Waste

• Cost savings on labor through more efficient handling, preparation, and storage of food that will be used.

• Cost savings when purchasing only as much food as needed, and avoiding additional costs of disposal.

• Reduced methane emissions from landfills and a lower carbon footprint.

• Better management of energy and resources, preventing pollution involved in the growing, manufacturing, transporting, and selling of food.

• Community benefits by providing donated, untouched, and safe food that would otherwise be thrown out.
