According to the USDA’s Economic Research Service, up to 40% of the food supply in the United States becomes waste — that’s over 200 pounds per person, per year. But what’s the best way to address this waste? Through eliminating food loss at the source by designing packaging that keeps food safe and preserves quality longer. This extends the shelf life of produce, baked goods, liquids, and other consumables, thus ensuring that more of the food that is produced ends up on tables rather than in landfills. In this webinar hosted by the Grow-NY Food and Ag Business Competition, our panelists will discuss innovative packaging solutions and how they are working to meet the USDA and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s goals for cutting our nation’s food waste by 50% by the year 2030.
