In the United States alone, Americans waste $160 billion of that total, which is nearly 30 to 40 percent of the entire U.S. food supply.
But are we making progress? What is being done to prevent food waste? Where are we at in 2018?

To say the state of healthcare is in flux is an understatement. With a changing political landscape, rising costs, new regulations, the emergence of new technologies and systems, and a host of other variables, what we see in hospitals today may be very different in 20 years.
