<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reducing food loss and waste helps protect natural resources and biodiversity, helps reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and maximizes the use of food produce. <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fao.org%2Fplatform-food-loss-waste%2Fflw-events%2Finternational-day-food-loss-and-waste%2Fen&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C884a5f3fdc4a43e9ac2708ddff7ced5c%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638947634250283094%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2HM%2B5rqROo3QSiG9yNXUauei5h%2FX%2BbaaInfbRBC%2Bcns%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Visit the FAO International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste webpage<\/a> for more information and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CDFA\u2019s commitment to helping Californians reduce food loss and waste includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdfa.ca.gov%2Fis%2Fffldrs%2FSAFE_HumanFoodWasteDiversion.html&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C884a5f3fdc4a43e9ac2708ddff7ced5c%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638947634250301899%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=0X7CSZiDTAPPPfWKBsCh%2FOJkowkm8Zm3%2FvK%2BhNoE4IQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">CDFA Commercial Feed Regulatory Program<\/a>, which promotes human food byproduct diversion to create animal feed; the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdfa.ca.gov%2FAHFSS%2FMPES%2FRendering%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C884a5f3fdc4a43e9ac2708ddff7ced5c%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638947634250311307%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=qCCQXkoRbg5JYJmBfxz79qZuDzZ%2BT3SpihLNAiGWi6M%3D&amp;reserved=0\">CDFA Rendering Program<\/a>, which promotes the process of breaking down animal byproducts for industrial uses; the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdfa.ca.gov%2Foars%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C884a5f3fdc4a43e9ac2708ddff7ced5c%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638947634250320468%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2Ec%2FMB1vQqzl2DJqMnUeduWbbUoL9Vwpx3X4yjfoeVo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">CDFA Office of Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability,<\/a> which promotes composting; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcafarmtofork.cdfa.ca.gov%2Ffarm_to_fork%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C884a5f3fdc4a43e9ac2708ddff7ced5c%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638947634250329655%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=7CK6O6vm84Gv3tX%2BnTYOklhh6H5U8k%2F8qzB046Ruqwg%3D&amp;reserved=0\">CDFA Office of Farm to Fork<\/a>, which is committed to increasing food access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CDFA joins the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in recognizing today, September 29, as the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste.
