It is estimated that 45% of all food produced in the U.S. is wasted and 40% of college students are food insecure. As of 2023 more than 700 food pantries and banks operate on college campuses, demonstrating the large need among college students. College food insecurity impacts both individual students and America as a whole. As colleges incorporate food recovery into their daily operations or event procedures, they help reduce hunger and food insecurity on a local level. In this discussion we will provide insight to reduce food waste by feeding hungry people. |
