Three months after joining Friends of Champions 12.3, we bring you an update not just of some of the initiatives this marvelous food-waste organization is engaged in, but also a bit of our thinking on what and how to leverage Champions to boost the food-waste movement in our own LatAm region. You'll recall from our November 9th post, when we joined, that 12.3 is the target within Goal 12 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals that seeks to slash food waste around the world at a clip of 50% by 2030. We'll soon be touring the Americas, and championing 12.3 will be on the agenda.
