Minimizing food waste through donation, recovery, and other waste reduction strategies benefits the health and well-being of the environment and everyone in it while saving labor and resources.

In addition to corporate initiatives, local food rescue programs, food pantries, and community fridges provide ways for individuals to take action at a grassroots level. The law continues to evolve in ways that promote food donation and provide greater protections to donors than ever before. By supporting sustainable food systems and reducing waste, both organizations and individuals can help create a more equitable and environmentally responsible future.​
