Are you aware of the high cost of food waste?  In 2021, $310 billion (not a type-o) was spent on food that was wasted, most of which ended up in a landfill.  But the cost of food waste is not the only consideration.  Food waste also contributes to climate crisis.  When food waste is dumped in landfills, it releases methane gas into the atmosphere, which is 80 times more harmful than CO2.
