A few weeks ago, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of a major milestone in the movement to reduce food waste in the U.S. The first-ever Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste by 20 Percent (aka “the Roadmap”) was published in 2016 by ReFED, complete with an economic analysis and breadth of solutions across the hierarchy of prevention, recovery, and recycling.
