Joining forces with more than 600 public and private organizations, we are proud to support the mission of reducing food waste in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Together, we can inspire action and create meaningful change.
Why Food Waste Prevention Matters:
●
Save Money: A family of four can save between $1866-$3000+ per year by reducing wasted food.1
●
Conserve Resources: Wasted food means wasted labor, land, water, and energy used in its production and transportation.
●
Improve Food Access: Safe and nutritious food could be better utilized to improve food access in our communities.
Food Waste Prevention Week aligns with the
EPA, USDA, and FDA's "Winning on Reducing Food Waste" initiative, which aims to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. Food waste in landfills releases methane gas, a significant contributor to climate change. By working together to divert good food from landfills, conserve resources, reduce environmental impacts, and build stronger, more resilient communities.
As an official partner for
Food Waste Prevention Week, we are committed to amplifying the message that reducing food waste supports a stronger economy, a healthier environment, and greater food security for all.
Let’s make a difference together!
