Addressing how to feed a growing population while minimizing food waste plays an important role in mitigating climate change.
In a new epsiode of the CLEAR Conversations Podcast, our amazing host, Tracy Sellers is joined by Minerva Ringland, Senior Manager of Climate & Insights and Angel Veza, Director of Strategic Innovatin and Capital at ReFED, a national nonprofit focused on reducing food waste. ♻️
The conversation focused on the environmental consequences of food waste, emerging solutions across the supply chain and easy steps consumers can take to help address the problem.
“Food is a particularly important part of the landfill methane equation. Ringland cited the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency analysis indicating that food accounts for at least 58% of landfill methane emissions.”
