Food that is thrown out every day could be utilized to help people experiencing food insecurity and help feed hungry people and families. And both food and water waste result in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/champions123.org\/the-business-case-for-reducing-food-loss-and-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">net losses for the business<\/a><\/strong>, and reducing food waste could be helpful for companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s positive to hear that a Boulder County initiative &#8211; <em>Restore Colorado<\/em> &#8211;  to reduce food waste has gotten grant funding from the USDA.
