ReFED Data Reveals Private Investment into Food Waste Solutions Topped $7.8 Billion Since 2011 - Including a Record $2 Billion in 2021 Alone - But Much More is Needed to Reach National and International Reduction Goals

NEW YORK, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct U.S. private investment into solutions to reduce food waste reached an all-time high of $2 billion in 2021 following ten years of accelerating growth in the sector, according to new data from ReFED, the national nonprofit working to end food loss and waste across the food system. But substantially more funding is still needed to cut the 35% of food that goes unsold or uneaten each year in the United States in half by the year 2030, in accordance with national and international goals. The data come from ReFED's new Food Waste Capital Tracker, a first-of-its-kind, free resource offering a deep-dive analysis of food waste funding at both a systems level and an individual company deal basis, designed to provide investors and innovators alike with the information they need to develop their food waste funding strategies.

Key Points:

(In 2016, ReFED released its first Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste report, which provided an action plan and detailed the benefits of investing in various food waste solutions.)
The tool currently details private investment in food waste and will be expanded to include philanthropic and public investment later this year.
Food Waste Funder Circle: The Food Waste Funder Circle (FWFC) is a network designed for private, public, and philanthropic funders interested in using their capital to solve food waste challenges.
ReFED is a national nonprofit working to end food loss and waste across the food system by advancing data-driven solutions to the problem.
