Furthermore, about 31 percent of perfectly good food gets thrown out every day in
the United States. Also, That is while millions suffer from food insecurity.  So,
the Berg Center focuses on food waste as ethics and social responsibility issues.
Therefore, this film highlights the solutions to food waste. Solutions prevalent
throughout the Pittsburgh region.  For example and including on the campus of the
University of Pittsburgh.

In addition, Rescuing Abundance first began as a student project. That’s when students
enrolled in a Certificate Program in Leadership and Ethics at the University of 
Pittsburgh College of Business Administration. They conducted research on food waste
from an ethical perspective and performed extensive pre-production services for 
the film.

# As well, these Rescuing the Abundance food heroes united in their commitment to build fair, sustainable practices that build food security. Also, these community partners also awarded with a special “Food Innovation Award” at the event.

In conclusion, Rescuing Food Abundance is only the beginning of the effort to shine
a light on reducing food waste.  Finally, the Berg Center plans to develop Rescuing
Abundance into a curriculum for other universities.  That is through a series of
video-based case studies to be created.  Created from the various interviews in 
the film.
