Challenging Food Waste and Hunger
Abstract
(type = abstract)
An exploration of the interrelated issues of food waste and hunger in the United States, and finding solutions to limiting their prevalence in our local community
Abstract
(type = summary)
Food waste and hunger are prominent issues in this country which are frequently overlooked. The United States is considered one of the richer countries of this world, however, it too suffers from the negativity of hunger and food waste. Hunger and food waste are caused by different factors such as poverty, ignorance, unemployment, increased cost of living expenses, and the tremendous gap which exists between the rich and the poor of this country. The amount of food wasted by businesses, schools, restaurants, homes, and supermarkets is absolutely ridiculous and amounts to about 100 billion pounds of food waste every year in this country alone. Millions of people are starving in this country even though there is enough food being produced that can feed billions. This problem is overlooked by many, but several different groups such as City Harvest, Slow Food, Share Our Strength, Day-End Dough-Nation Program, Feeding America, and many others have decided to take food that would originally go to waste and donate it to people who need it. These groups have succeeded greatly and because of their success we have decided to try to do something similar in New Brunswick. We, as a group, decided to contact local businesses such as Panera Bread, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway Restaurants, and ask them to donate food, that would have been thrown out, to the people of New Brunswick who need it. We took this food and dropped it off to a local soup kitchen, Elijah’s Promise, with the hope that this will not only help the hungry people of this city but also influence others to help them.
