The City of Los Angeles has been hard at work diverting waste from landfills and pushing toward achieving a zero waste goal of 90 percent by 2025, and in an effort to ramp up its diversion of food waste, the city recently held its first-ever Food Waste Grant Challenge.
The challenge called for local communities and organizations to submit proposals describing their ideas for how to handle food waste in their communities for a chance to receive part of the approximately $100,000 in grant funds up for grabs.
