Alimento Para Todos (APT) is an institution with more than 24 years and has a new mission, install a food bank in Tultitlan, Estado de Mexico that allows to recover, store and dignify food and other goods to continue supporting a vulnerable population with the aim of ensuring access to food through the weekly delivery of food packages and food orientation.
According to World Food Program, hunger reaches about 800 million people and claims more deaths than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Paradoxically, 1,300 million tons of food suitable for human consumption, end up in the garbage. In our country; while 20.4 million tons of perfectly usable food, safe and suitable for human consumption, are lost or wasted along the entire supply chain, 43% of the population in Mexico lives in poverty, that is, they don't have enough to satisfy basic needs
APT is a food bank in Mexico City (one of the largest, most efficient and transparent), which through a model that works in a self-sufficient way, recover approximately 1,500 tons of food per month, providing food assistance to through nutritional packages. to more than 60,000 people per week in communities or institutions in: Mexico City, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Hidalgo and Morelos. With the new food bank we will serve the population that does not receive the benefit in Tultitlan, Estado de Mexico
Based on experience, the evidence shows that, if rescued, at least half of the food that is wasted in the country, it would be possible to supply a balanced and varied diet to 100% of the population living in extreme poverty.
