Food Waste: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
In 2022, food insecurity in the U.S. has seen an increase of 31% for individuals and 44% for children from the previous year, the highest rate and number since 2014 and the largest one-year increase since 2008.
Around 350 food banks across the U.S. shoulder the immense burden of rescuing food from grocery stores, often working with limited resources and volunteers.
We need modern innovations across the food rescue pipeline to handle such staggering increases in food insecurity
The Food Donation Improvement Act (FDIA) was passed in 2023, with bipartisan support and collaboration across non-profit and corporate partners. It builds on the Bill Emmerson Act to increase food rescue and drive innovations. The FDIA expands liability protections and tax deductions to incentivize businesses and allows needy individuals to participate in food rescue directly for the first time.
