Bill overview
The Zero Food Waste Act aims to reduce the amount of food waste in the United States by establishing a grant program run by the Environmental Protection Agency. This program will provide funding to various entities – including states, local governments, and nonprofits – to implement strategies for reducing food waste, such as studying waste generation, developing reduction plans, and implementing projects like differential pricing for food waste disposal or anaerobic digestion. The ultimate goal is to achieve a 50% reduction in food waste by 2030 compared to 2010 levels.
