Listen we bring you a dynamic session from WasteExpo Together Online 2021, “National Food Recovery Evolution: MealConnect and Feeding America.” This session features speakers Justin Block, Managing Director of Digital Platform Technology, and Nathan Crone, Senior Account Manager of Agri Sourcing Partnerships, both at Feeding America—the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the U.S.

Block set the stage by talking about Feeding America’s engagement in the issues of hunger and food waste. He noted that these are urgent threats, particularly with over $218 billion worth of food being thrown away each year. He also pointed out that 275 U.S. counties have food insecurity rates over 20%. The Feeding America approach and process relies on a wide array of food donors, its network of more than 200 certified member food banks, and the agencies that utilize the food in helping to feed the 37 million hungry Americans.
