NRDC’s Food Matters Pilot

The Food Matters project at NRDC partners with cities to achieve meaningful reductions in food waste through comprehensive policies and programs. The project is currently partnering with city agencies and local collaborators in Denver and Baltimore to drive dramatic, system-wide waste reduction by developing action plans that identify polices and initiatives to reduce food waste. The program website offers an open-source resource library with tools for cities.
