Zen Siete Surplus is going above and beyond towards the future of food waste. Up to 40% of food is wasted in the US, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Zen Siete Surplus aims to combat food waste by repackaging nutritious surplus food to distribute to those in need in communities abroad, allowing us to promote food sustainability and a cleaner environment. There are many ways you can contribute to our causes.  We are very interested in partnering with local churches, food banks, and corporate entities to expand our movement. We are looking to continue our mission and message to as many as we can about recycling food. Food-scrap recycling has multiple benefits. Food scraps can be used for composting, which enriches the soil and reduces emissions of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) from landfills. This process also saves cities and towns money by lowering the needed frequency of trash collection. Learn more about how you can get involved and take advantage of the opportunity to help our communities. We are dedicating ourselves to creating a team of people who are equally as passionate about putting an end to hunger and a cleaner planet.
