The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture is committed to ensuring long-term stability and resilience in our nation’s food supply chain through supporting projects to increase U.S. meat processing, food and nutrition security and reducing food waste.

Food Waste

NASDA supports extending the inter-agency agreement between the USDA, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Food and Drug Administration to achieve the national goal of reducing food loss and waste in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2030. Further, NASDA supports additional efforts to improve coordination and communication amongst federal, state and municipal stakeholders to use resources more efficiently and effectively when addressing food waste.
