Key Points

This resolution supports naming September 29, 2025, as a special day to talk about food waste. It points out that about 40 percent of all food grown in the world is wasted, which costs more than 1 trillion dollars every year.
The plan explains that food waste is a major cause of climate change. When food sits in landfills, it releases a powerful gas called methane. Cutting food waste in half could significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions and help protect the environment.
The resolution also notes that better food distribution could help feed the 783 million people who go hungry each year. It encourages the government, businesses, and families to work together to reach the goal of cutting food waste in half by the year 2030.
