Recap of the 2023 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit
In the shadow of the Gateway Arch, ReFED Executive Director Dana Gunders opened the 2023 Food Waste Solutions Summit in St. Louis with a simple message – think bigger. Are we at the point where the fight against food waste should be growing beyond a “movement,” where the level of work is commensurate with the opportunities that solving it will present? Being clear about the scope of the issue – telling the story as accurately as we can – can lead to more funding, more business initiatives, more policies, and more action toward creating a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food system.
Reducing food waste has many solutions, and it all begins with a strong community making the commitment to work together. That means entrenching values of inclusion and diversity, as well as the willingness to prioritize pre-competitive sharing and open dialogue.
