Food has the power to create positive, lasting change. Change that improves lives, strengthens communities and protects our planet.

When food is lost or wasted, we lose more than food.

The water, land, energy and labor used to produce it are lost too, while food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

Food banks offer a practical solution: recover nutritious surplus food and redirect it to people who can use it.

Better for communities. Better for our food systems. Better for our planet.

What happens when food bankers share what's working across borders?

Recently, Bancos de Alimentos Argentina brought together industry leaders, companies and organizations for the second edition of “Toward a Country Without Hunger,” a roundtable focused on strengthening food recovery and addressing hunger and food loss and waste.

The event included a special presentation from José Miguel Rojas Vértiz Bermúdez, director of Banco de Alimentos Puebla, part of the BAMX network, who shared lessons from Mexico and an international perspective on scaling food banking in Argentina.

Every country faces different challenges, but collaboration gives food banks an opportunity to learn from one another and strengthen locally led solutions.

This November, those conversations continue in Toronto at the GFN Global Summit 2026, bringing together more than 400 leaders from over 50 countries to exchange ideas, experiences and solutions.

"I believe there is food that goes unseen, while there are people in our communities who could benefit from it. Through food banking, I have seen how rescuing that food and getting it to where it is needed can make a real difference. For me, that connection is where the impact begins.” - Zenawi Woldetensay, It Rains Food Bank of Ethiopia

Around the world, food bankers see firsthand what happens when nutritious food that could feed people is instead lost.

Recovering that food can strengthen communities while creating a food system that works better for people and the planet.

Ending food waste is within our grasp, but no organization, business or government can solve it alone.

In a new op-ed for The Grocer, GFN President & CEO Lisa Moon and GFN board member Gonzalo Muñoz make the case for collaboration across sectors to turn food waste from a billion-tonne challenge into an opportunity for meaningful change.

As they write, “Ending food waste is within our grasp.” What it takes now is collective action.

Big news! 💛

GFN has been named a 2026 Gold Winner in the Global Good Awards’ Climate for Good category.

In 2025, our network recovered 193,000 tons of food, served 3.4 million people and avoided more than 188,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent through post-harvest food recovery alone.

It’s proof that recovering good food can nourish communities and protect our planet at the same time.

A resilient economy starts with resilient communities.

When families have reliable access to safe, nutritious food, they're better able to focus on work, education and their long-term wellbeing. They can invest more of their income in housing, healthcare and opportunities for the future.

That's why food banking is about more than addressing hunger: it's about helping communities withstand economic shocks, strengthening local resilience and building food systems that work for everyone.

Together, we can build stronger economies through .
