81% Informative
In September 2015 , the U.S. set an ambitious target of reducing food loss and waste by 50 percent .
Researchers at UC Davis looked at state policies across the country and estimated how much food waste each state was likely reducing in 2022 .
They found that, without more work being done at the federal level, no state is on track to achieve the national waste reduction goal.
Until there are more options for both pre- and post-consumer food waste, composting may be the best, most accessible option for many people.
Leonard: Compounding is the easiest thing to do, and probably the safest thing we should do until we have better protocols in place.
