Food Security: It’s a Local Problem
• Over 50 million Americans
(about 1 in 6) lived in food
insecure households in 2011
- About 17 million children
- About 5 million seniors
Source: www.feedingamerica.org, 2013
• Question: Is this a meal?
www.responsecology.com

…And It’s a Global Problem
• 842 million people (12% of the global
population) were undernourished from 2011
to 2013 Source: FAO, WFP, and IFAD 2013
• About 98% of these individuals live in
developing countries Source: FAO, WFP, and IFAD 2013
• Roughly 2 billion individuals face one or more
micronutrient deficiencies Source: FAO 2013
www.responsecology.com

…And It’s Linked to Resources
• Resources – such as water – that are increasingly
scarce, and increasingly linked
As McKinsey notes:
• Up to 3 billion more middle-class consumers will
come on line in the next 20 years
• Demand for resources is increasing; finding &
extracting them is increasingly expensive
• Environmental factors limit production
• Rising concern about inequality might require
action Source: Dobbs, et al. 2011
www.responsecology.com

…And It’s Linked to Environment
• Feeding 9 billion by
2050 requires sufficient
quality land and water
• Agriculture already uses
70% of freshwater for
irrigation, and 38% of
ice-free land
Source: Foley, 2011
• Pollution is a critical
global constraint
www.responsecology.com

The Challenge Ahead:
• So we need to:
• Feed another 2 billion by 2050
• Ensure adequate water for 9 billion people
• Get more from existing resources
• Do so in a way that ensures survival of
people and planet
• Make outputs of one process inputs to others
One key starting point: Reduce Food Waste
www.responsecology.com

Low Hanging Fruit?
www.responsecology.com

The Opportunity Now:
• Reframe: View 9Bx2050 as an Opportunity
• Key: The problem of food waste is tied to the
twin problems of poverty and the environment
• Food Waste = the low-hanging fruit; it provides
a huge opportunity for global collaboration on
eliminating hunger & optimization of resources
• Start by reducing, and redirecting, our enormous
amount of food waste – and put it to good use

Reduce Waste through Partnerships
Going from loss/waste to productive use….

Food Waste in the US: Scope
• 1977: a study estimated that 20% of the food
produced in the US for human consumption
was lost annually – at that time 137 million
tons with a value of $31 billion Source: USDA Report to
Congress, 1977
• Two decades later, another study estimated
US food losses at 96 billion pounds annually
(or 27% of food available for human
consumption) Source: Kantor et al., 1997
www.responsecology.com

• A recent NRDC
report noted that
40% of the food in
the US is not eaten
• This translates to 20
lbs. of food per
person per month
and a value of $165
billion
Source: Gunders, 2012

Food Waste in the US

Food Waste in the US
Recent USDA Study:
• 31% of the available food supply at the retail
and consumer levels in 2010 was not eaten
• A total of 133 billion pounds of food (meat,
poultry, fish, vegetables, dairy, etc.)
• Value of $162 billion
Source: Buzby, Wells, & Hyman, 2014
www.responsecology.com

Food Waste in the UK
• High rates of food waste in the UK as well
WRAP noted that:
• UK households waste 6.7 million tons of food
per year (about 33% of purchases)
• With proper management, more than 60% of
that food could have been eaten
• Nearly 25% of all avoidable food waste was
discarded in a whole/unopened state
Source: WRAP, 2008
www.responsecology.com

Global Losses
• A study by SIWI noted that food losses and
wastage could be as high as 50% from field to
fork Source: Lundqvist,2008
www.responsecology.com

Global Losses
• About 1/3 of all
edible parts of
food produced
globally for human
consumption go to
waste annually
• That’s 1.3 billion
tons annually

One Trillion Reasons
• In US dollars, FAO estimates food losses and
food waste total about $680 billion in
industrialized countries, and $310 billion in
developing countries Source: FAO Save Food, 2013
• That’s nearly one trillion US dollars…
$ 1,000,000,000,000
www.responsecology.com

Global Losses: The Message
• Global food losses of this magnitude are
unconscionable – especially when viewed in
parallel with hunger
• “The potential to provide 60-100% more food
by simply eliminating losses, while
simultaneously freeing up land, energy, and
water resources for other uses, is an
opportunity that should not be ignored.”
Source: Fox, Institute of Mechanical Engineers, 2013

Some Causes of Food Waste
• Extreme Weather
• Pests
• Regulations
• Overly selective quality standards
• Damage from machinery
• Loss in Transport and storage
• Food prep and conversion
• Supply and demand variability
• Damaged packaging
• Over-purchasing
• Confusion over sell-by dates
• Plate waste
Source: Kantor et al. 1997
www.responsecology.com

Where Food Waste & Losses Occur
• Developing countries (post harvest and processing) vs.
Industrialized countries (retail and consumer)
Source: Gustavvson et al., 2011
www.responsecology.com

Developing countries
• Lack of infrastructure is critical
• Transportation, refrigeration problems
• Much material is lost in transit to market, or
rots in inadequate storage facilities
• Little waste at market; food is simply too
valuable!
www.responsecology.com

Industrialized countries
• Highly efficient transportation systems allow
for rapid movement of food over great
distances
• Consumers expert convenience, fully stocked
shelves at all times and “perfect” produce
• System based on oversupply and uniformity
• Vast amounts of waste at market
• “Imperfect” produce culled out at farm
www.responsecology.com

Excess Fruit In, Excess Fruit Out
• Excess supply and quest for perfection = waste
www.responsecology.com

Overstocking leads to waste
• Variety 24x7 is costly
www.responsecology.com

Chicken In, Chicken Out
• The waste goes beyond fruit and vegetables
www.responsecology.com

Poor Infrastructure, and Apathy
• Food waste in
developing nations
results from a lack of
infrastructure for
storage and
transportation
• Food waste in
industrialized nations
stems largely from a
culture of abundance,
and apathy
www.responsecology.com

Abundance = Myth, Illusion
“Industrialized nations need to learn what it means to
live in scarcity – because the appearance of infinite
abundance is an illusion.” Tristram Stuart, Waste, 2009
www.responsecology.com

Valuing Food and Resources
• How much do we
value our food?
• And the resources to
produce it?
• How often do we
consider the
weaknesses of the
food system, and the
waste that results?
www.responsecology.com

A Move to Mainstream
• Food Waste is not yet a
mainstream issue in
industrialized nations
• The US spends $1
billion annually to
dispose of food waste
Source: www.endhunger.org 2013
• It must become part of
national, and global,
agendas
www.responsecology.com

Global Food Waste: Significance
• Food Waste has direct and significant bearing
on the two most pressing issues of our time –
poverty/hunger and the environment
www.responsecology.com

Significance: Lost Calories
• Wasted food prevents needed calories from
reaching the mouths of the needy
• If we could save ¼ of the food currently lost
or wasted globally, it would be enough to
feed the 870 million hungry across the globe
today
Source: FAO Save Food 2013
www.responsecology.com

Significance: Wasted Nutrients
• All too often, high
quality calories (fruits,
vegetables, and meat
proteins) go to the
waste stream rather
than to individuals
www.responsecology.com

Significance: Obesity
• More than 1/3 of Americans are obese,
including 17% of children ages 2-19
• Source: www.cdc.gov 2013
• In the US, obesity rates have doubled in
children and tripled in adolescents in the last
30 years Source: www.cdc.gov 2013
• High quality calories currently being wasted
could offset the challenges of food deserts
www.responsecology.com

Environmental Impact
• Wasted Food = Wasted Water
• “Globally, the loss of water through food
wastage would easily meet the household
water needs of the 9 billion people expected
in 2050”
Source: FAO: Food Wastage Footprints, 2012
www.responsecology.com

Environmental Impact: Air
• Wasted Food = Air Pollution
• Food waste is a major component of landfills;
decomposing food pollutes the air and
contributes to global warming through
methane emissions
• Methane gas has more than 20 times the
global warming potential of carbon dioxide
Source: www.epa.gov, 2013
www.responsecology.com

Environmental Impact: Energy
• Wasted Food = Wasted Energy
• US food wastage represents 300 million
barrels of oil per year
• That’s 4% of our nation’s oil use
Source: FAO: Food Wastage Footprints, 2012
• And we use even more energy when we haul
it away to landfills
www.responsecology.com

Environmental Impact: Resources
• Wasted Food = Wasted Resources
• Waste of all of the Agricultural inputs that
went into producing the wasted food –
including fertilizer and pesticides – which also
contribute to water pollution via runoff
www.responsecology.com

Environmental Impact: Soils
• Wasted Food = Depleted soils
• The production of meat and dairy products
wasted annually in the US and UK require 8.3
million hectares (about 2/3 the size of NY)
Source: FAO: Food Wastage Footprints, 2012.
• The press for land disrupts climate and
hydrological cycles, and threatens to reduce
the productivity of land by 25% this century
Source: Stuart, 2009.
www.responsecology.com

A Dysfunctional Circle
Current Food System: Roughly half of food lost along the way
www.responsecology.com

The Impact of Dysfunction
• We’re producing more than we need in
developed countries
• At every stage we are devoting finite resources
to produce food that we eventually discard
• In the final stages we inflict even more harm on
the environment by disposing of food that we
did not use (methane emissions, groundwater)
• We fail to divert over a billion tons of excess
food to eliminate hunger annually
www.responsecology.com

The Result: Wasted Nutrition & Resources
www.responsecology.com

Typical Findings in Retail Sector
• Bad enough
www.responsecology.com
• Far Worse

A Problem of Global Security
• How secure is a world where billions are
hungry, and live in communities with others
who have more than they need?
• Where hunger and obesity coexist?
(Dr. Mehmood Khan, PepsiCo)
• And it’s not just a problem for the developing
world
www.responsecology.com

And a Moral Problem
• There is a moral issue here as well
• All individuals have a basic right to food and
adequate nutrition
• Yet we discard immense quantities of food,
enough to totally eliminate hunger
Source: www.ampleharvest.org, 2013)
• On moral grounds alone, reducing food waste
should be a global priority
www.responsecology.com

Sum: The Disconnect with Food Waste
We waste roughly 30-50% of food produced,
yet:
• Roughly 1 in 8 across the globe are hungry
• We need to feed another 2 billion by 2050
• Resources are limited/environment is
challenged
• We need to find sustainable ways to close the
calorie gap anticipated by 2050
www.responsecology.com

And What About Water?
• How do we think about water in our affluent
society?
• A Strong Parallel to Food
• Low (or no) cost
• Culture of Abundance
• High Amount of Waste
• Lack of Investment in
Infrastructure
www.responsecology.com

How Much Do We Value Water?
• “If the human body is 60 percent water, why
am I only two percent interested?”
Stephen Colbert, from Unquenchable (Glennon, 2009)

The Link to Water Security
• Food security depends upon water security
• Without adequate, safe water supplies, we
will not be able to feed the world population
www.responsecology.com

Why We Should Care
• Water = the “common thread that links all
aspects of human development.”
• Water security: necessary for all social and
economic sectors, and for supporting the
world’s natural resource base
Source: Rio+20 Policy Brief; Water security for a planet under pressure
www.responsecology.com

Why We Should Care
• Population grew fourfold in the 20th century,
while demand for water grew by a factor of
nine….
• Global freshwater demand expected to
exceed current supply by over 40% by 2030….
Source: http://www.weforum.org/content/global-agenda-council-water-security-2012-2014
Note – that’s just over 15 years away….!
www.responsecology.com

Why We Should Care
• Increasing pressure on global water supplies due
to population growth, growing economies, and
poor water management
• “We simply cannot continue to use water as
wastefully as we have in the past; we have to
change the way we manage our water
resources.”

Potential for Crisis
US Intelligence Community Assessment:
• In next 10 years, water problems will contribute to
instability in states important to US national
security
• Beyond 10 years, water in shared basins will be
increasingly used as leverage, and the use of water
as a weapon or terrorist target becomes more likely
• Water problems combined with other social and
economic problems can lead to state failure

Overcoming Barriers to Change
Food waste and water security – some key obstacles:
• Insufficient Awareness
• Culture of Abundance
• Waste is Too Easy
• Excessive Short-Term Focus
• Excessive Concern Over Risk
(Fear of Liability, Loss of Reputation)
• Lack of Infrastructure (local and global)
• Lack of Leadership – excessive focus on status quo
• Lack of Recognition of the Opportunity
(not thinking big enough)
www.responsecology.com

The Need for Awareness & Action
• Increased awareness of the scale of the
global food waste problem is needed among
consumers, business, and government
leaders
• Tangible action is needed by them to reduce
food waste as part of a broad, durable,
collaborative global resource optimization
strategy to prepare the world for 9 billion
people by 2050

Linking Food Waste and Recovery
• It’s not just about production
• Key: We waste enough to feed the world
• Food waste harms the environment further
First ask the question: Why? Then:
• Collaborate and Partner to recover food
• Be reliable; innovate to overcome obstacles
• Redirect high quality calories to the needy
Impact: solve social and environmental problems
www.responsecology.com

Food Recovery: Some Key Lessons
• Farmers don’t like food waste either
• Individuals want to contribute positively
• Match needs and strengths of organizations
• Individuals are powerful change agents
• Small and local are efficient and powerful
• Relationship management drives success
• Vested teams get results and are durable
• Alternative recovery concepts are growing
• There are vast opportunities to recover high
quality food – we are scratching the surface
www.responsecology.com

Conclusions
• Our values are far
out of balance
• We have lost touch
with the value of
our food – and our
water – to the
detriment of people
and planet
www.responsecology.com

Conclusions
• The current state of waste, pollution, hunger,
and water scarcity is unsustainable
• In 2050, the world’s scarce resources will be
impacted by another two billion people, many
of whom will have increased purchasing power
putting a further strain on resources
• We cannot afford to waste 30-50% of our food,
nor can we afford the environmental impact of
that waste
www.responsecology.com

The Need to Reframe
• The effort to reduce global food waste is a
key component of the larger sustainability
effort to provide food to millions, improve
the environment, and create a more secure
world
• It is an essential journey in which we all need
to participate
• Need to view as an opportunity that cannot
be missed
www.responsecology.com

Reframe and Act On Opportunity
• Resource Optimization focus; systems view
• Increased attention on utilizing existing food rather
than simply producing more – there is much to capture!
• Raise awareness/educate
• Collaborate and create partnerships
• Promote legislation to ban food waste from landfills
• Replicate successful models (multiple levels)
• Push food recovery through the supply chain
• Promote creativity (donations, transportation, stores)
• Success will breed success and hybrid models
