Abstract
This paper discusses my role as an Expansion Fellow at Food Recovery Network, a non-profit that empowers college students to fight food waste and hunger by recovering surplus food from their dining halls and surrounding communities and donating it to people in need. The topic of food waste has garnered considerable interest in recent years due to its environmental impacts and potential to combat hunger. This paper provides an understanding of why mass food waste occurs in the United States and around the world, the environmental and social justice impacts of food waste, an overview of the organizations working towards eliminating food waste, solutions to the issue, and the outcomes of my fellowship at Food Recovery Network.
