MN Food Waste Rising Despite Millions Spent to Reduce It

(MNN)-Minnesota is falling behind its goal of cutting food waste in half by 2030. A new state report finds food waste is making up a growing share of what Minnesotans throw away, despite millions of dollars spent on prevention efforts. The Pollution Control Agency awarded nearly $5 million to 13 organizations to reduce food waste. The agency urges residents to plan meals, freeze leftovers and donate extra food.
