An article by The New York Times outlined a strategic plan by The White House to keep edible food out of landfills. Roughly 30% of the country's food supply isn't eaten, but thrown away or wasted. Officials are trying to change the behavior of both businesses and individuals to reduce waste and expand food donations.

Can someone help me estimate the TRUE cost of this broccoli for our local farmers, community, and environment? The journey of moldy broccoli from Mexico: The broccoli was bought in bulk at a very low cost. It passed through at least four warehouses (Mexico, California, Philadelphia, Northeastern PA) before it was "expected" to fight hunger. ???? However, the broccoli did not feed people. The organization sent it to a hog farm. This process steals resources from the food pantry, yet the charitable food system claims the food as served and CO2e saved. It's time to consider the broader impact of the charitable food system and support sustainable, local solutions. ???? #FoodDignityMovement #FoodDignity #FoodasPower #SustainableFoodSystem #FoodSustainability #FoodFreedom #FoodEquity #NewSystem #SystemChange #SupportLocalFarmers #responsiblespending

It might shock people to learn that it costs more than $350,000 each year to operate our markets. From permit fees to portalet rentals, market expenses aren’t exactly the most exciting things to talk about; but the costs are significant for a market of our scale. To keep the market affordable for small-scale, local farmers, vendor fees cover only half of the costs to operate the market. Remaining expenses are funded through charitable contributions made by community members like you. We just learned we will be able to open our markets a month early — but we need your help to make it happen. Join our community of Green City Market Growers today with a monthly or one-time donation: bit.ly/gcmgrowers. If every person who reads this becomes a GCM Grower by giving $25/month, together, we could fully fund this work for the entire year before the season even starts. That’s less than $1 a day to build a more resilient, sustainable food system alongside our farmers. #greencitymarket #donate #sustainability #agriculture #farming #chicagostrong

#PennState Smeal students in a management course taught by Neil Fogarty, instructor of entrepreneurship, collected funds to purchase more than 31,000 cans of pet food that were then donated to Centre County PAWS, a local, non-profit, animal shelter. “This drive is a great hands-on lesson on how creativity and innovation can improve productivity to get better results. By thinking outside the box and challenging the traditional way of doing things, you can surpass expectations, in this case by 2,000%." — Neil Fogarty, instructor of entrepreneurship Read the full story here: https://ow.ly/7T4G50Qik45

Well done

On Wednesday, I spent an excellent evening at a #fundraising event organised by Woop Woop and Tir Pontypridd. TP are a #community group aiming to raise funds for the purchase of land in the Pontypridd area; land that will be used for #biodiversity and #wellbeing purposes. Also attended by Tir Natur – a #charity created to purchase and #rewild land in bio-depleted uplands of Mid #Wales – we watched the excellent @kneppestate documentary and contemplated the possibilities for returning a greater balance to our use of land, our consideration of #nature and the utilisation of natural resources. The Q&A session was particularly inspirational. I am of course, horribly biased. This is a subject that is close to my heart and colours my thinking. I absolutely believe that with a little #creativity, #imagination and #commitment, #businesses can play an incredibly active part in both the #dialogue and in making things happen. As businesses we make choice after choice that affect our local and wider #communities, with decision making that is often accidentally na?ve.?To broaden clear opportunities, we just need that heady mix of the right crowd, the right ideas and constructive #conversation (leading to expert #conservation) to nudge/push/pull/drag (delete as applicable) things in the right direction. It was an excellent opportunity to share these ideas and broaden networks. ? Big thanks to all involved. Rewilding Britain

What do you get when you combine produce recovery with hunger relief? At Food Forward we call it Fruitanthropy! Defined as the investment in health and sustainability through the recovery and distribution of surplus fresh fruits and vegetables to communities experiencing food insecurity, fruitanthropy is a great way to sum up our mission. Much like regular philanthropy, the notion of fruitanthropy is centered around the importance of working together for the common good.

Nearly 1 in 4 San Diegans are food insecure. That’s too many people who lack regular access to healthy food. Last year Coastal Roots Farm grew nearly 80,000 pounds of organic food for more than 45,000 people. We donated 83% of our harvest to feed those in need. The Farm uses regenerative agriculture techniques that reverse the impacts of climate change. We believe in the interconnectedness of "Adam" (human) and "Adamah" (land), and nourish people and our precious planet. #GivingTuesday is 1 week away. We’re raising $150,000 to feed 9,000 local families.? Starting today each gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Double your impact and give early.
