## Resource

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Dana Gunders, President of ReFED, and Emily Broad Leib, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation. They discuss how the adoption of GLP-1 drugs is impacting food waste at the household and retail levels, how grocers and restaurants can respond to shifting eating habits, and what's happening at the state and federal level to keep food out of landfills. Plus, the dismantlement of USAID continues to impact global communities, Ebola cases rise in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, the fuel crisis in Cuba becomes a food systems crisis, the U.S. House advances legislation to allow the year-round sale of E15 ethanol blend, China restores trade for U.S. agriculture products, and the undamming of the Klamath river restores salmon populations, reconnects ecosystems, and returns river access to Indigenous communities.
