Food waste and hunger are two enormous
problems that some non-profit groups say can
be addressed together by getting the extra food
to the people who need it.
New apps are making that easier.
The USDA estimates that more than 30% of the
food in America is wasted each year. Besides
food waste at home, there is also a lot of
commercial food waste: restaurants preparing
more food than customers buy, and grocery
stores ending up with perishables approaching
their expiration dates.
