USDA Steps Up to Reduce Food Loss and Waste

 

USDA is doing its part to help make preventing food waste the first-best option for farmers, businesses, organizations, and consumers.  In addition to sponsoring the U.S. Food Waste Challenge and the U.S. Food Loss and Waste 2030 Champions programs, a large number of USDA programs contribute to reducing food loss and waste, ranging from those supporting market and distributional efficiencies to those educating consumers about safe food storage. This resource lists selected new and ongoing USDA activities directly contributing to the reduction of food loss and waste.
