Forgotten Food Statistics
FOUND exists because we saw a big problem and we wanted to get our hands dirty (literally) trying to work towards a solution.
Did you know?
About 17% of global food production may go wasted, according to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Food Waste Index Report 2021
Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from initial agricultural production down to final household consumption
Food losses represent a waste of resources used in production such as land, water, energy, and other inputs, all of which have negative environmental consequences
FOUND reduces food waste by collecting food leftover in fields, farmers’ markets, and urban gardens and fruit trees.
We do our best with the resources we have to get as much fresh food to those in need as we can. This would not have been possible without the community support we have received. We thank our food donors, our supporters, and volunteers.
