Cities are uniquely positioned to lead the fight against food waste.
Addressing food waste helps cities stabilize municipal waste
management costs and meet climate and sustainability goals. Expanding
food rescue enables cities to address gaps in the nutritional needs of
communities. NRDC’s Food Matters project, with support from The
Rockefeller Foundation, is working with cities and local partners to
develop and implement strategies that will drive dramatic,
innovative, and system-wide food waste reduction. At the inaugural
summit, attendees will have the opportunity both to share
experiences and learnings from their food waste work and to learn
about work happening in cities around the U.S. The Food
Matters Cities Summit will take place on February 12-13, 2019. The
first day will focus on the food waste solutions at play in cities,
and the work NRDC has done to date. The second day will be geared
towards technical actors and experts for the workshopping and
sharing of food waste strategies.
