The Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), ReFED, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with support from companies, NGOs, and other stakeholders are calling on Congress and the Biden administration to take ambitious action to achieve the goal of cutting US food loss and waste in half by 2030, through five key actions:
1. Invest in the infrastructure to measure, rescue, recycle, and prevent organic waste from entering landfills and incinerators.
2. Expand incentives to institutionalize surplus food donation and strengthen regional supply chains.
3. Assert the US Government’s leadership on FLW globally and domestically.
4. Educate and activate consumers via private and public food waste behavior change campaigns.
5. Require a national date labeling standard.
