In 2021, Feeding America
estimates that 42 million people in America may face hunger. All around us, there is an abundance of cheap, empty calories, yet families struggle to get healthy meals on the table. Local farmers fight to earn a living and rural communities are suffering from years of economic hardship. We need a food system that provides healthy food for all, a working business model for small and mid-size farmers, and supports thriving communities.
As a result of food producers and supermarkets deploying more efficient inventory management and distribution systems, food donations are flat or declining. To meet this challenge, we must find new sources of healthy food.
