Food waste in America and in the world in general has become a very big issue. Based on statistics in the United States alone there in is a food waste of 60 million tons of food every year. This is roughly 160 Billion dollars worth of food that is wasted. There are many ways to combat food waste but that does not mean every way has worked.
The 901-Eats project is another possible way of reducing food waste here in the Memphis area. They have a truck going around local businesses and acquire food that was soon to be thrown out. With the trucks they can pick up food made for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner service and be able to distribute it to people in shelters. This projects is a very useful way of combating food waste in America and could potentially translate over to different countries.
