International Food Waste Coalition (IFWC) is a nonprofit non-governmental organization that finds solutions to food waste including better portion control and improved meal forecasting. The International Food Waste Coalition's President is Damien Verdier.[1] Another founder is an active supporter and participant of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. They are currently implementing WasteWatch, a food waste program to track the $940 billion of economic losses due to annual food waste, which amounts to one third of all food produced. So far, more than 40 countries have adopted WasteWatch, resulting in 45 percent reduction in food waste in the first 2. The goal is 100% waste prevention by 2025.[2] Food waste is the third largest waste category in landfills costing American consumers, businesses and farms $218 billion to grow, process, transport and dispose of food that is never eaten. 52 million tons of food goes into landfills annually with 10 million more tons discarded or unharvested on farms. Simultaneously, 1 in 5 American children suffer from hunger.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
