Yes, because the food industry, particularly dairy, has been allowed to run rampant with government covering their behinds for far too long
@9GQK8RK 5 days5D
Yes, but clearly delineate between the government's role and that of private businesses and organizations
@7YS3KJP 5 days5D
Yes; food waste is a major issue and I believe combating it can significantly reduce poverty and food insecurity, both here and (potentially) abroad.
@9P9DXRG1mo1MO
Incentives like property tax cuts for composters could be an alternative to investing into programs.
@9NXW9RJ 2mos2MO
No. It should be an initiative carried on by business, coops, colleges/universities, individuals, and other organizations not connected with the government.
@9NS6JW82mos2MO
The government should incentivize plant-based foods. Most caloric waste comes from producing animal feed from usable crop land (i.e., takes 25 tons of grain to produce 1 ton of beef)
