"Juul believes that for the fight against food waste to be won, pressure has to keep coming from the bottom up. 'The biggest impact is keeping people aware of food loss and food waste. When people act, other people act, the governments acts, the companies act.'” We couldn't agree more--it will take all of us working together to transform the way we manage unsold and uneaten food. At Divert, we're on a mission to Protect the Value of Food? through prevention, donation, and diversion. Join our movement to create a waste-free future. https://lnkd.in/e5cr8SVs #FoodWaste #ZeroWasteFuture #FoodInsecurity #ClimateChange #ProtectingTheValueOfFood

Keeping up with the patchwork of evolving legislation to reduce wasted food takes work, and stakeholders across the supply chain are having to keep a close eye on proposed rules as they emerge.

Wasted food--63M tons of it per year in the U.S.--takes up one-third of the space in America's landfills, and data shows that we're quickly running out of capacity. There's a more sustainable way to manage the food that we don't eat: converting it into renewable energy. Listen to Divert CEO Ryan B.'s interview for the Energize podcast to learn more about this innovative solution:?https://hubs.li/Q02SCvsd0 Thanks again to GZERO Media, JJ Ramberg, Caitlin Tessin, and Enbridge for a great conversation. #RenewableEnergy #WastedFood #FoodWaste #ZeroWasteFuture #CircularEconomy #ProtectingTheValueOfFood
