Edible food is rotting in landfills driving climate change, while many people go hungry—it's a double-headed problem with one potential solution.

A new state law, California Senate Bill 1383, came into effect on January 1, 2022. By 2025 California must reduce its organic waste by 75 percent and recover at least 20 percent of edible food that would otherwise have been disposed of.

Implemented locally, its goals are statewide. Major supermarkets and wholesalers must comply now. Hotels, hospitals, and other event venues must comply by 2024.

The nonprofit, non-partisan RAND Corporation has invested in research to understand the preparedness for SB 1383 food recovery in Los Angeles County. The report draws on a literature review and confidential interviews with 38 stakeholders. Join us for a presentation of the key findings, followed by a discussion with experts in food recovery, and a Q&A.
