II. General Information 

A. What is the purpose of this request 

for public comment? 

The Draft National Strategy for 

Reducing Food Loss and Waste and 

Recycling Organics aims to prevent the 

loss and waste of food, where possible; 

increase recycling of food and other 

organic materials to support a more 

circular economy for all, reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions, save 

households and businesses money, and 

build cleaner, healthier communities. 

The three Federal agencies have a 

formal interagency agreement focusing 

on the cooperation and coordination of 

efforts to reduce food loss and waste. To 

achieve the desired results, the EPA, 

USDA and FDA are seeking input from 

diverse partners—including local, State, 

Tribal, and territorial governments; 

professional and industry associations; 

individuals, private companies, and 

those working in food and agricultural 

industries; academic institutions; and 

non-governmental and communitybased organizations. The actions 

detailed in this draft Strategy will help 

the U.S. meet its National Food Loss 

and Waste Reduction Goal to halve food 

loss and waste and contribute to the 

National Recycling Goal to achieve a 50 

percent recycling rate by 2030, as well 

as contribute to global achievement of 

the United Nations Sustainable 

Development Goal Target 12.3. 

Preventing food loss and waste and 

recycling food and other organic waste 

will also reduce landfill methane 

emissions, in support of the U.S. 

Methane Emissions Reduction Action 

Plan, which identified food waste 

prevention and organic waste diversion 

as the top two methane emissions 

reduction strategies for municipal solid 

waste. 

The draft Strategy identifies concrete 

steps, and complementary EPA, USDA, 

and FDA actions, that will help 

accelerate the prevention of food loss 

and waste, where possible, and 

recycling of the remainder with other 

organic waste, across the entire supply 

chain. 

The EPA, USDA and FDA are seeking 

input from individuals and partners on 

what additional EPA, USDA and FDA 

actions should be included or modified 

in the Strategy and how best to 

collaborate on those efforts with each 

other and partners across the food 

system. Specific actions ultimately 

adopted will be informed by evidencebased research to the extent available 

and partner engagement, implemented 

through technical and financial 

assistance, pilots and programs, and 

policies, where appropriate and be 

within each agencies’ legal authorities. 

The EPA, USDA and FDA will consider 

the comments received on this draft 

Strategy, finalize it, and begin 

implementation of the final Strategy in 

2024.
