The summit was held in\u00a0 St. Louis, Missouri, and was attended by hundreds of businesses, funders, solution providers, innovators, policymakers, nonprofits, and more. Through the generous support of the Natural Resources Defense Council, SBN was able to attend to learn food waste solutions. As SBN deepens its work in our local food systems, we are exploring ways we can best support businesses in the food industry, especially when it comes to food waste. Not only does wasting food negatively affect profits for businesses, but it is also a large contributor to carbon emissions. It is especially devastating as <b>more than 34 million<\/b> people, including 9 million children, in the United States are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingamerica.org\/hunger-in-america\">food insecure<\/a>. The organizations at the conference do so much in food rescue and recovery, food justice, food waste policy, education, composting, and sustainability. Here are some of the highlights and takeaways from the Summit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Having excess food is an obstacle for all food businesses.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There isn\u2019t a restaurant, grocery store, food distributor, bakery, or other food business that doesn\u2019t struggle on the path to zero waste. Many factors contribute to waste. The amount of food retailers\u2019 waste fluctuates weekly. Sometimes weather or unforeseen events lead customers to change their plans and potentially reduce or cancel their restaurant reservations or food orders. Even though some technology exists to help identify consumer patterns, it is impossible to predict the perfect amount of food to order. Many businesses are left with the food they think might be unsellable or lack a clear plan for donating, composting, or disposing of. Businesses should not feel embarrassed or helpless about this issue. It\u2019s confounding and complicated by many factors outside of their control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Some solutions exist so that excess food doesn\u2019t have to become food waste.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A hierarchy of food waste exists to identify the best methods for using food before it is thrown out. At the top of the scale is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevention<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Prevention means being conscious of the amount of food ordered and making sure to sell as much food as possible. Keeping track of how much food is used vs wasted, seasonal patterns and lifespans of the needed items can help to reduce waste. Stores can also use liquidation structures to help get food off the shelves. The second step is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redistribution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to people. Redistribution is where the vast majority of extra food needs to be going to prioritize fighting hunger and climate change simultaneously. This means working with other organizations who will help to pick up and distribute your excess food. The remaining steps on the hierarchy are donating excess food to become animal feed, composting, recycling, and finally, at the bottom, disposal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>One of the biggest barriers to donating food waste is the feeling that it\u2019s too difficult. There are partners in Philadelphia who want to help. With collaboration, we can eliminate barriers, reduce food waste, and fight hunger<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. SBN member <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sharingexcess.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing Excess<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of Philadelphia\u2019s food recovery experts. Sharing Excess works with local restaurants, stores, and wholesalers to deliver excess food to nonprofits, food banks, and community groups. The <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hungercoalition.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coalition Against Hunger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also serves the Philadelphia area with immediate to long-term forms of relief, including connecting food pantries to food donors and advocating for change in local and national policies related to food insecurity. Philadelphia is also home to multiple local composters who work with residents and businesses, including\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bennettcompost.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bennett Compost<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.circlecompost.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Circle Compost<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Finally, new apps and programs are available for every step of the process. A great Philadelphia-based example is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearcogs.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ClearCOGS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which specializes in helping restaurants with their food orders, tracking how much food is used and how much to order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to learn more or discuss food waste
