No-Cost Food Waste Reduction Assessments

In the U.S., it is estimated that 24% of food grown ends up in a landfill or incinerator. Much of this waste happens in our homes, but businesses along the food supply chain significantly make our food systems more efficient. Businesses that address food waste reduction strategies will save on disposal costs, improve employee job satisfaction, and enhance public relations.
