296. Fighting Food Waste Through the Emerson Act
Every year, $408 billion is spent processing, transporting, storing, and disposing of food that never gets eaten. That’s millions of pounds of fresh food—24% of all food in the U.S.—going to waste, instead of nourishing the 42 million Americans expected to experience food insecurity in 2021. Join WW International – who is leading cross-sector efforts related to food and nutrition access – and Food Tank, in a special virtual panel to discuss the new bipartisan legislation, introduced by US Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Pat Toomey (R-PA), designed to strengthen the 1996 Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act—and help fight senseless food waste and food insecurity.
