Corporate Responsibility and Legislation in Food Waste Management In the growing effort to combat food waste, corporate responsibility plays a pivotal role. Companies around the globe are adopting innovative strategies to reduce waste and align with new legislative measures. Recent legislation has intensified the focus on sustainable practices, urging businesses to contribute to environmental stewardship. For instance, the United States' Food Donation Improvement Act promotes food donation by offering liability protection, encouraging businesses to redirect excess food rather than discarding it. In the EU, the Farm to Fork Strategy aims for a 50% reduction in per capita food waste by 2030, calling for comprehensive corporate involvement. Businesses are encouraged to integrate waste tracking systems, embrace circular economy models, and collaborate with local charities to enhance sustainability. Understanding and complying with these laws not only aid in waste reduction but also bolster a company's reputation and profitability.

We’re delighted to be partnering with Tesco to trial an innovative methane reducing feed supplement for cattle that could reduce Grosvenor Farms' greenhouse gas emissions by up to 12%, the equivalent of 1.3 tonnes CO2e per cow each year, supporting our ambition to be a carbon net zero milk producer by 2030. Grosvenor Farms, Cheshire, is one of the UK’s leading dairy and arable farms, working by the principles of regenerative agriculture and circular farming, to produce high-quality foods in a commercially and environmentally sustainable way. We already have one the lowest carbon footprints for milk production in the UK. By working with our partner Tesco, we can build on the significant reductions that we have achieved in our activities and develop a lower carbon milk supply chain.

On Wednesday, June 12, the Biden administration announced a national strategy to reduce food waste, aiming to extend the shelf life of foods, increase composting and recycling facilities, and encourage more food donations. About 30% of the U.S. food supply is wasted. Food waste is a major contributor to landfill volume and greenhouse gas emissions. The strategy focuses on changing behaviors of businesses and individuals, funding research, and converting food waste into compost, gas, or animal feed.
