What Will It Take To Solve Food Waste? A Special Conversation with Andrew Zimmern

Andrew Zimmern is an Emmy and James Beard Award-winning television host, chef, and food advocate who has spent decades showing the world how food can be a powerful force for cultural understanding and social change. And on March 19, Andrew will sit down with ReFED to discuss how his work intersects with food waste and what it will take to make meaningful progress on reducing food waste in the next decade.

Andrew will be joining us at the 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit, and this conversation will serve as a preview of what’s to come. Held almost exactly ten years after the first ReFED Roadmap was released, this virtual event also provides an opportunity to reflect on how the food waste movement has grown and where it’s headed.
