🌍Californians send 11.2 billion pounds of food to landfills each year. Food waste contributes to more than half of methane emissions from municipal solid waste landfills. Meanwhile, too many in our community struggle to afford healthy food. 🌍BFN is the largest Food Recovery Organization (FRO) in Northern Alameda County, each year diverting hundreds of tons of edible, surplus food to neighbors in need while saving the equivalent of 80 years of electricity consumption for one household! 🌍Food recovery is an important initiative that simultaneously addresses food security and climate change. However, the costs associated with sorting and waste hauling the unusable donations can be unsustainable for FROs, often lean nonprofits. 🌍In an effort to change that, we recently partnered with StopWaste and Cascadia Consulting Group to analyze the compost and waste at BFN. Follow the link below to see how this unique compost audit project could yield more support for food recovery efforts in our community. https://ow.ly/nyKY50RkhtU #earthday #foodrecovery

✨ December is a season of giving ✨   The OFC encourages individuals and organizations to connect with food recovery services to donate food items in good condition. By doing so, we can reduce food waste, support community initiatives, and contribute to immediate food security solutions.   Individuals can bring unopened food items to their local food bank (be sure to check if a list of needed items is available to help meet the needs of visitors). Organizations can explore food recovery services in their community, such as Second Harvest, or Too Good To Go to ensure that food is properly redistributed.   As part of our latest Symposium (November 2024), Second Harvest discussed the details of their food recovery program. This and other presentations are now available on our Recap webpage https://lnkd.in/g5fqcvW3   For more information on food recovery and other sustainable solutions for food waste, check out our recently published Sustainable Solutions for Food Waste handbook https://lnkd.in/gfdtNChq
