The FWRA pursues three goals: reducing the amount of food waste generated; increasing the amount of safe, nutritious food donated to those in need; and diverting food waste from landfills. In this Alliance, the three major sectors of the supply chain -food manufacturing, retail, and restaurant and food service- are represented.
Through this collaborative effort, USDA, EPA and FDA contribute, individually and collectively, to the initiative, encourage long-term reductions, and work toward the goal of reducing food loss and waste in the United States. These actions include research, community investments, education and outreach, voluntary programs, public-private partnerships, tool development, technical assistance, event participation and policy discussion.
