Excess Food Opportunities Map Webinar Archive
This webinar, held on October 16, 2019, features Claudia Fabiano, Environmental Protection Specialist in the Office of Land and Emergency Management, and Steve Rock, Environmental Engineer in the Office of Research and Development, presenting on the Excess Food Opportunities Map. Over one-third of food produced in the U.S. is never consumed, wasting the energy and water used to produce it, and adversely impacting the economy, our communities, and the environment. The Excess Food Opportunities Map seeks to support nationwide diversion of this excess food from landfills. The interactive map identifies and displays facility-specific information about potential generators and recipients of excess food in the industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors and also provides estimates of excess food by generator type.
