NO TIME TO Waste Act
This bill establishes an Office of Food Loss and Waste within the Department of Agriculture to coordinate national efforts to reduce food loss and waste. It creates a grant program for states, local governments, and tribal entities to collect data on food waste policies and develop model approaches to reduce food loss. The legislation requires federal contractors to report on their food waste reduction efforts and establishes a national education campaign to help consumers understand food waste, food safety, and composting. The bill aims to achieve a 50% reduction in food loss and waste by 2030 compared to 2016 levels through coordinated government action and public education. It authorizes $1.5 million annually for the Office and additional funds for related programs through 2030.
