But right now, our food system is in crisis. One in 11 people face hunger while one-third of all food is wasted globally every year. And all of that lost and wasted food contributes up to 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emission – further driving the climate crisis.
Together, we can champion change. Change that can transform our food systems to work for everyone. Join us.
Beginning September 22nd, tune into our podcast series, digging into ideas from across our food system, where innovation, community and action meet.
Each episode we’re joined at the table by food systems champions — from business, policy, research and civil society — who share how they are reducing food loss and waste, improving access to nutritious food and creating a better food system for all.
