According to the Food Research & Action Center, approximately 47.4 million Americans lived in food-insecure households in 2023, meaning they lacked consistent access to an affordable, nutritious diet. Knowing how we can help feeding America is the first step toward building stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has enough to eat.

Globally, approximately one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted, amounting to around 1.3 billion tonnes annually. In response, The Real Junk Food Project was founded to tackle this colossal waste by intercepting surplus food and redistributing it to feed people, rather than letting it go to landfill.

Globally, nearly 2.3 billion people faced moderate to severe food insecurity in 2023, according to United Nations data. While the scale of the problem is vast, there are numerous effective actions individuals and communities can take. So, what can we do to help food insecurity right now, and what are the most impactful long-term strategies?
