Dana Gunders of ReFED: Advancing food security, sustainability, and economic well-being by preventing food waste
Save The Date: February 18, 2021, 1 p.m. CT (UTC-5)

In 2019, 35% of the food produced in the US went to waste. That uneaten food – worth $308 billion - accounted for 4% of the US’s carbon emissions. Cost-effective, systemic solutions are ready to deploy.  Dana Gunders, ReFED Executive Director, will describe the logistics and economics of work now underway in the U.S. to reach the national goal of reducing food waste 50% by 2030.  As her predecessor Chris Cochran says, this is “a tremendous economic, environmental, and social opportunity.” ESRAG’s Drawdown Food Waste Task Force is offering this webinar on practical solutions, to inform and inspire Rotarians and anyone committed to food security and a livable planet worldwide.  Please register below. You will get the zoom link on the registration confirmation page and a reminder will be sent via email.

Before becoming a founding board member of ReFED, Dana Gunders served as a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, then launched Next Course LLC to provide strategic advice on preventing food waste. She is the author of the landmark Wasted study https://www.nrdc.org/experts/dana-gunders , launched the Ad Council’s Save the Food campaign, and is a leading public voice for solutions, including testifying to Congress and appearing on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
