Why we fight
Food is a fundamental human right. We believe that everyone should have access to enough nutritious food to support a happy healthy life. People who are food insecure are more likely to struggle in school and to be in poor health. A nation that allows 13% of its citizens to go hungry cannot achieve its full potential. Hunger is a formidable barrier to a person’s, and, by extension, our country’s prosperity.

Our food waste epidemic also has profound consequences for the planet. It has been linked to climate change and contributes to land, air, and water pollution. It is nothing short of an environmental catastrophe.
