I am a proud Food Tank Board member, and it's always so fulfilling when my role as a Board member and my role at Food Recovery Network overlap and I can talk about the immediacy of now: food recovery must be the norm and when we recover food, we decrease excess CO2 emissions dramatically.

Winnow Founder Marc Zornes was a panellist for “Food Loss and Food Waste” at #ClimateWeekNYC, speaking alongside Ryan B. of Divert, Angel Veza of ReFED, Regina Harmon of Food Recovery Network, and moderator Stacey Vanek Smith of Bloomberg. The panel covered a wide range of topics, including data-driven food waste reduction, large-scale food diversion, and renewable energy creation from waste. Marc emphasised how critical measurement is in driving awareness and action within hospitality. By using AI-powered tools, Chefs can track and reduce the 10-20% of food that typically gets wasted, even in tight-margin businesses. Thank you Food Tank for putting together this insightful and impactful discussion on the future of food waste reduction!
