Sobering statistics we aim to fix.
- ~1.05 billion metric tons (≈2.3 trillion pounds) of food are wasted globally every year — much of it still edible.
- ~700–730 million people worldwide go hungry each year despite that surplus.
- That wasted food alone could produce 1.5–3 trillion meals annually, depending on calorie density.
- Feeding every hungry person three meals a day would require rescuing well under half of current global food waste.
- Even saving ~30–40% of today’s wasted food would be enough to eliminate hunger at a global scale.
- Hunger is not caused by scarcity — it is caused by broken distribution, coordination, and stewardship systems, which Meals That Heal™ is designed to fix.
