Ways to Engage
The ReFED Food Waste Action Network
“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” - African proverb
ReFED is excited to announce that the next iteration of its Food Waste Action Network (FWAN)—a member-led community to help you reduce food waste in your home, your work, your community, or anywhere food is consumed (and possibly wasted!)—will be launching later this year.
What do I need to do to join the FWAN?
It’s free to join and open to anyone! Our community is designed to accelerate action by activating the breadth of individuals and organizations interested in reducing food waste through shared asks, offers, and actions.
Central to your participation is sharing a food waste action that you'll take in the next year. This can be personal or professional; ambitious or easily attainable. From contracting with a solution provider to track food waste at your business, to volunteering at your local food bank, to starting a share table at your local school, these actions will lay the foundation for your involvement in FWAN.
Once you share your food waste action, tell us what you need to achieve it (e.g., "I need connections to solution providers where my company is located") and what you can do to help others achieve their actions (e.g., "I can share my experience starting a share table at my school"). These asks and offers will be shared in a virtual marketplace format, with FWAN members encouraged to engage and support each other, and ReFED will design and facilitate programming and resources throughout the year to support common action themes.
