Decrease+Food+Industry+Waste

The problem is too many food companies and industries waste too much food. We chose to address this problem because we believe the food that is wasted on a daily basis could be put to better use.
 * 1) ** **Introduction to the problem**

We would address this problem by contacting local food industries and companies to get them to collaborate with homeless shelters and soup kitchens to donate the still edible food. Or also donate leftover food to local farmers to make compost piles.
 * 2) ** **Strategies employed**


 * 3) ** **Outcomes of the project**
 * The limitations on this project would be to convince the food companies to donate their food. Also finding ways of transportation to get the leftover food to shelters or farms.
 * What could be done next is to contact the shelters to make sure that they need food that these companies could offer.
