The cycle of food presents many different challenges, making sure good food is recovered and not wastefully thrown away or even composted is vital to making a better system for all.
We won't beat around the bush. We are really disappointed by the inaction of our state representatives on the issue of waste. Because of this, we're going to suffer a loss of momentum at the state level at a time when we need to ramp up.
We believe in this future and will keep advocating for it. The good news is that in the meantime, there's still so much you can do as an individual or by using your influence in the businesses and institutions that are in your community. Let's make it happen together.
