Consumer Goods Companies Commit to Halving Food Waste by Robert Kropp
Four hundred corporate members of the Consumer Goods Forum commit to a sustainability program that includes halving food waste within their operations by 2025.
SocialFunds.com -- A 2013 report from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) documents the environmental and social damage inflicted by wasting up to one-third of food produced globally for human consumption.
