Food waste is a big problem, but you can do something about it - The Advocate-Messenger
Food waste in the United States is a major issue. But it’s not being ignored. I was happy to learn that the U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and others are taking food waste seriously and trying to correct the problem.
According to the USDA website, on “September 16, 2015, the first-ever national food loss and waste goal in the United States was launched, calling for a 50-percent reduction by 2030.”
While 2030 is a long while away, it’s good we’ve acknowledged the problem and have some kind of a goal in mind to reduce food waste.
