Americans waste 40% of food, or roughly 133 billion pounds every year in the United States. On average, each of us wastes 15 to 20% of our own food each year. While terrifying quantities of food go uneaten every day, one in six Americans don't know where their next meal will come from. Of these Americans, 16 million of them are hungry children. Children are going hungry and we could be feeding them with the billions of pounds of healthy food being thrown away.

The Conversations on Food Justices examine the evolution of the food justice movement. We feature diverse voices disusing the consequences of food injustices.
