The ReFED Insights Engine: Our Online Data and Solutions Center
Recognizing the need for a centralized, trusted repository of data on the extent and impact of food waste, ReFED developed and launched the Insights Engine in early 2021. Since then, it’s become an indispensable foundation for effective decision-making, serving as a knowledge and resource hub for food businesses, funders, policymakers, and more. Built with data from more than 80 public and proprietary sources, along with academic studies, expert interviews and more, the Insights Engine features six tools to help users understand the food waste landscape, learn which solutions are the most relevant for reaching specific impact goals, identify partners to help implement a food waste reduction initiative, develop a funding strategy, and explore applicable policies.
