It's the 10th anniversary of the release of our Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste, and over the past decade, the food waste movement has evolved from a small coalition of passionate advocates into a nationally recognized force driving measurable change across business, culture, and policy. What does the next 10 years look like? Not only do we see the positive momentum continuing, but we also see it deepening—with more proven solutions scaling, policy impacts expanding, and food waste reduction becoming embedded in how our food system operates. Thanks for all you've done to get us this far—and for helping shape the next chapter of this work!
