Unlocking the Power of Policy: A Transformative Tool for Stakeholders

Comprehensive Mapping of Food Waste Legislation

The Food Waste Legislative Tracker provides a detailed and up-to-date picture of the state of food waste legislation across the country. It delves into the intricacies of wasted food prevention, food rescue, and food waste recycling bills in every state, offering a clear and concise understanding of the legislative landscape. By consolidating this information in a user-friendly format, the Tracker empowers stakeholders to navigate the complex web of policies and identify innovative solutions.

Empowering Stakeholder Engagement

The Tracker's design is intentionally inclusive, allowing stakeholders to stay informed on policies in development. This feature enables them to actively participate in the legislative process, providing valuable input and shaping the future of food waste policies. By fostering this level of engagement, the Tracker aims to drive progress and ensure that strong policies are replicated, while weaker ones are strengthened.

Accelerating Progress Towards National Goals

The creators of the Food Waste Legislative Tracker have set their sights on a lofty goal: reducing food waste by 50% by the year 2030. With the Tracker in hand, they believe that stakeholders across the food system can work together to achieve this benchmark. By offering a comprehensive resource that allows for cross-state comparisons and the identification of best practices, the Tracker is poised to catalyze a new era of collaboration and innovation in the fight against food waste.

Expanding Awareness and Driving Change

The Tracker's inception was driven by Divert's desire to empower their customers with information about the organic waste policies that impact their operations. This customer-centric approach has now evolved into a broader mission to increase awareness and drive progress on food waste legislation nationwide. By making this tool freely available, the creators hope to inspire a ripple effect of change, where stakeholders can learn from one another and champion innovative policies in their own communities.

A Collaborative Effort for Lasting Impact

The Food Waste Legislative Tracker is the result of a collaborative effort between Divert, the Zero Food Waste Coalition, and the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic. This cross-disciplinary partnership has brought together diverse expertise and perspectives, ensuring that the Tracker is a comprehensive and user-friendly resource. By leveraging their collective knowledge and networks, the creators are poised to make a lasting impact on the fight against food waste.
