Also included in the report is an infographic showing the potential impact of reducing food waste; a family of four that buys and eats just what they need would save approximately $1,484 per year. Just half the annual savings would be enough to provide food-insecure neighbors with up to 8,162 meals through food banks; and 20 families working together in the same way could provide up to 163,240 meals.
