In September 2015, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Administrator Stan Meiburg announced the United States' first-ever national food waste reduction goal,1 calling for a 50% reduction by 2030. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is in a unique position to lead food waste reduction efforts given that each of its 16 different agencies has resources to address this major concern. The USDA has always encouraged food waste reduction efforts-from its consumer-focused World War II-era campaigns that promoted smart shopping, Victory Gardens, and food preservation to recent efforts among K-12 schools.
