Editor's Notes
It is estimated that 25-40 percent of the food that is grown, processed and transported in the United States will never be consumed.
In 2010 alone, the FWRA estimates that around 60 million tons of food waste was generated in the U.S., of which nearly 40 million tons went to landfills.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, more food reaches landfills than any other type of municipal solid waste.
September 16, 2015
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Administrator Stan Meiburg announced the United States' first-ever national food waste reduction goal.
It calls for a 50-percent reduction by 2030.
In order to accomplish these goals, FWRAโs efforts are divided into four workstreams:
Assessment โ Measuring Food Waste
Emerging Solutions
Policy
Communications & Stakeholder Outreach
Fair market value: price at which comparable items are being sold
Cost basis: Cost of food production
