[Mainstage Session IV] No Time to Waste: Accelerating Progress to 2030
We’re just five years away from 2030, the target year for cutting food waste in half both in the U.S. and internationally—and while we have a lot to celebrate, we’ve still got a long way to go. There’s a wide range of solutions driving food waste reductions across the supply chain, but unlocking their potential at scale will require accelerated action from all food system actors. Our closing mainstage session features seasoned funders exploring the investment and funding landscape for food waste solutions, including what’s worked in the past and what needs to change for the future.
