SARE Announces Recipients of Food Loss and Waste Grant Program

Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program has announced that 14 organizations will receive $8 million through its national Community Foods Project Food Loss and Waste Training and Technical Assistance Grants Program, funded through USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The program prioritizes preventing food from becoming waste, diverting edible food to people through donation or upcycling, and feeding animals. The funded projects will both reduce food loss and waste and educate a variety of audiences about their reduction techniques. Descriptions of the funded projects are available online.
