The Food Waste Problem
Food waste is a big and growing problem in the United States and around the world. Did you know an estimated 40 percent of food produced in the United States will be thrown away this year? Canned foods, including pulses (beans/legumes), fruits, vegetables and meats/seafood, keep longer than their fresh and frozen counterparts, so food waste due to spoilage is less of an issue. Our Food Waste in the U.S. infographic offers eye-opening facts and steps we can all take to help reduce food waste in our homes.
