The bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection to provide grants for food waste reduction pilot projects that have an
objective of preventing food waste, redirecting surplus food to hunger relief
organizations, and composting food waste. Under the bill, DATCP must give
preference to grant proposals that serve census tracts for which the median
household income is below the statewide median household income and in which no
grocery store is located. The bill provides $100,000 annually in general purpose
revenue funding for this purpose.
