SUMMARY:Masters Series Masterclass: Good Food Belongs to People\, Not a Landfill
DESCRIPTION:At the intersection of food insecurity and climate change lies one powerful opportunity: food rescue. Food waste and food insecurity are often treated as separate crises — yet they stem from the same structural inefficiencies in our food system. In the United States\, up to 40% of food produced goes uneaten\, even as 1 in 7 households face food insecurity. Most wasted food ends up in landfills\, where it becomes a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. 412 Food Rescue in Pittsburgh is transforming how communities respond to these challenges. By mobilizing volunteers through innovative\, people-powered technology\, the organization rescues fresh\, nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste and delivers it directly to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. In this way\, the organization operates at the intersection of food waste and environmental sustainability\, redirecting surplus food to communities experiencing food insecurity while reducing landfill methane emissions. In this session\, leadership from 412 Food Rescue will examine how technology-enabled logistics\, volunteer mobilization\, and cross-sector partnerships can serve as civic infrastructure — addressing hunger\, advancing environmental sustainability\, and strengthening local food systems. Participants will explore how surplus food recovery functions not as charity\, but as systems-level intervention in both public health and climate resilience that has national and global impact.
