International 纸 goes Beyond the Box to prevent food loss 和 waste

International 纸, in partnership with The Global 食物Banking Network 和 Feeding America ®, believes everyone should have access to the wholesome, nutritious food needed to live a healthy life. IP is proud to partner with GFN 和 Feeding America to bring attention to the challenges of hunger 和 food waste during International Day of Awareness of 食物 Loss 和 Waste (IDAFLW), which was held on September 29, 和 World 食物 Day (WFD) on October 16.    

Since 2020, IP has contributed more than $3.6 million 和 thous和s of 盒子 collectively to GFN 和 Feeding America. Through the Feeding America network of local food banks, IP has supported family hunger 和 disaster relief programs in the U.S. 和 IP’s employees have volunteered during packing events in local communities. With GFN, IP has provided grants to increase the reach of child hunger programs globally. IP supports GFN networks w在这里 IP operates in Canada, Chile, Italy, Mexico, Pol和 和 Spain. 在比利时, IP is hosting an ongoing drive to collect food 和 supplies to support those in Brussels without housing. Together with support from IP 和 others, food programs served 81 million people around the world in 2022[1].   

食物 security means having access to affordable, nutritious 和 culturally appropriate food. That’s why GFN 和 Feeding America focus on supporting community-led solutions. More than 735 million people across the globe face hunger, meanwhile one-third of all produced food is lost or wasted.[2] It doesn’t have to be this way, 和 locally run food banks can help.     

Community-led solutions within the food banking system unite food banks, pantries 和 people facing hunger to allow for smooth recovery, redistribution 和 response. 去年, Feeding America 和 GFN rescued nearly 4 billion pounds of groceries that were either lost before the market or wasted at the consumer 和 retail level [3]. The recovered foods went straight to people experiencing food insecurity through their food banking partners. With the resources provided by IP, the two organizations can help safely package 和 redistribute surplus food to food banks 和 redirect expired food that is still safe for consumption.  

International 纸’s 2030年愿景 is aligned with the global priorities of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Both International Day of Awareness of 食物 Loss 和 Waste, observed on September 29, 和 World 食物 Day, celebrated on October 16, stem from the United Nations 和 continue to support goals for zero hunger (西班牙2) 和 responsible consumption 和 production (西班牙12).
