After more than seven successful years of working in over 20 select cities on food waste reduction, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) is expanding its Food Matters program across the United States. This next phase of the program will bring on new cities and focus on implementing policies, programs and cross-city networking to reduce food waste.
“With 80% of the U.S. population estimated to live in cities by 2050, these metropolitan areas can unlock significant progress on the nation’s goal to halve food waste by 2030,” noted Madeline Keating, City Strategist and Food Matters Initiative Lead at NRDC.
