What does FOOD WASTE REDUCTION GRANTS. of Zero Food Waste Act do?

This section establishes a program to award competitive grants for food waste reduction. The program aims to reduce food waste by 50 percent by 2035, relative to 2015 levels. Grants may be awarded for studying food waste generation, developing reduction plans, collecting data, and publishing reports. Eligible entities for grants include states, local governments, tribal governments, and partnerships, but exclude nonprofit organizations unless they provide specific support. The Administrator prioritizes grants for diverse locations and uses, and those benefiting communities disproportionately affected by environmental or health issues. For anaerobic digestion projects, applicants must submit a plan for end-product recycling and limit animal waste usage. Recipients must report on the results of grant usage, and the Administrator will submit an annual report to Congress on the program's effectiveness.
