Bill > HR2883

This bill, called the NO TIME TO Waste Act (New Opportunities for Technological Innovation, Mitigation, and Education To Overcome Waste Act), establishes a comprehensive federal strategy to reduce food loss and waste in the United States. The bill creates an Office of Food Loss and Waste within the Department of Agriculture to conduct research, support food recovery efforts, and develop strategies to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030. Key provisions include establishing regional coordinators to facilitate food recovery, creating grant programs to support data collection and infrastructure development, and launching a national food waste education campaign. The bill requires federal contractors to report on their food waste reduction efforts, prioritizes research grants related to food loss, and mandates interagency collaboration among federal departments. The legislation also aims to support food recovery organizations, develop innovative technologies to reduce waste, and raise public awareness about food waste's impacts on climate change, food security, and public health. By providing definitions, funding, and coordinated approaches, the bill seeks to comprehensively address the complex issue of food waste across production, distribution, and consumption phases.
