Summary:

The 118th Congress has continued to introduce legislation addressing food loss and waste, building on enacted provisions in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-334, 2018 farm bill). The 2018 farm bill created authorities supporting composting initiatives and expanded coordination among federal, state, and local activities at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reduce the incidence of food loss and waste. Congress may consider changes to federal food loss and waste initiatives as it debates farm bill reauthorization.
