A Review Of Grey Literature Cited By Food Loss Law And Policy Scholarship, Angela Hackstadt

In the United States, state and federal programs, rules, and legislation attempt to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts of food waste.

Recommendations for librarians and researchers are discussed.

Peacebuilding Through Food Recovery, Angela Hackstadt
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
The United States wastes approximately 133 billion pounds of food annually while 15 million American households are food insecure. Current and proposed U.S. legislation attempts to encourage food recovery efforts to address both of these problems by incentivizing donation of surplus foods by businesses to charitable organizations, yet legislation has failed to deliver. Food insecure individuals who use food banks or other safety net programs are often required to provide personal information and are subject to scrutiny in the process of acquiring food. Information can be leveraged in different ways to stigmatize or marginalize those in need. This presentation discusses …
