Zero Food Waste Coalition Releases Open Letter Urging Congress to Reauthorize the Farm Bill in 2024
Federal Food Waste Policy Actions
The ZFWC advocates for federal food waste policy solutions that save consumers, farmers, and businesses money; improve food security; and build more sustainable food systems.
The Coalition is currently advocating for:
- Our U.S. Food Loss & Waste Policy Action Plan, which calls on the federal government to take ambitious action to achieve national and international goals to reduce food loss and waste 50% by 2030.
- Federal standardization of food date labels either through FDA and USDA joint regulation or by passing the Food Date Labeling Act.
- Congress to prioritize food loss and waste through key pieces of legislation including the NO TIME TO Waste Act, Appropriations, and Reduce Food Loss and Waste Act.
