 The collection and processing of food loss and waste and other organic materials, such as yard and tree trimmings, that would otherwise be landfill or incinerated, and turning them into new products, such as soil amendments from composting, food scraps and soaps, and bone meal from rendering, will provide subject matter expertise and technical assistance to help federal agency tribes, territories, states, and local governments, as requested, on policy approaches and options to reduce food loss and waste.
