Food waste in the US is a significant issue, with 30-40% of the national food supply wasted annually, translating to millions of tons and billions of dollars lost. The government has set a goal to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030, and a collaborative agreement between the FDA, EPA, and USDA aims to help achieve this target.
