FOOD RESCUE
Food rescue addresses three crises at once: preventing waste, fighting hunger, and reducing emissions by redirecting surplus food to communities.
Food Waste
Rescuing surplus food prevents edible items from being wasted in landfills, where they decompose and emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This addresses inefficiencies in food distribution and resource loss (e.g., water, energy, labor used in production).
Climate
Diverting food waste reduces methane emissions from landfills and lessens the carbon footprint of food production. It also conserves resources (land, water, fuel) wasted in growing, transporting, and disposing of uneaten food.
Hunger
Redirecting rescued food to communities in need tackles food insecurity by providing nutritious meals to vulnerable populations. It bridges the gap between surplus and scarcity, ensuring food reaches people instead of being discarded.
Impact
Collectively, food rescue creates a sustainable cycle—reducing environmental harm, alleviating hunger, and fostering community resilience. It demonstrates how systemic action can address interconnected social, economic, and ecological challenges.
