“With 40% food waste and 15% food insecurity in this country we do not face a food shortage, we face a supply chain opportunity,” John Elliott, chief executive officer of Gleaners, said in a news release. “The challenge of hunger impacts crime, education, physical and mental health, worker productivity and diminished economic success. Hunger and resultant chronic illnesses are hurting taxpayers, employers, and our shared future. Solving these challenges represents a massive cost avoidance opportunity for generations of taxpayers.”
