ForwardWebinar: Why RDs Need to Be Trash Talking
Up to 40 percent of the food in the United States is wasted. This translates to over $160 billion of edible food being tossed rather than consumed. Sadly, this wasted food – which is the single largest component of our landfills – rots in dumps and landfills producing methane, an environmentally ugly greenhouse gas.
To add more misery to this issue, over 12 percent of United States households experience food insecurity forcing them to go to bed hungry. So how can we stop wasting food, hurting the environment, and instead start helping our hungry neighbors?

After completing this continuing education course, nutrition professionals should be able to:
- Identify the stages in the farm-to-table continuum where food is wasted.
