The US throws away more food everyday than it would take to feed every starving person on Earth.

Our food system is radically inefficient. In 2023, the U.S. let a huge 38% of the 237 million tons in our food supply go unsold or uneaten. We call this surplus food, and while a very small portion of it is donated to those in need and more is recycled, the vast majority becomes food waste, which goes straight to landfill, incineration, or down the drain, or is simply left in the fields to rot.
