Utilizing Food Donation Requirements and Food Waste Bans to Facilitate Increased Food Donation

The Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), Food Systems for the Future, and the United Nations Environment Programme are pleased to continue their web conference series on law and policy to address food waste, food recovery, and donation. The series is part of The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas, produced by FLPC and GFN to explore legal and regulatory barriers to food donation, as well as opportunities for law and policy to drive donation of safe, surplus food, and share best practices for consideration for countries involved in the project and beyond.

Please join us on February 24 for a meeting that will bring together government officials and policymakers (along with select food donors and food recovery organizations) to discuss the role of food donation requirements and food waste bans in impacting food waste, food recovery, and donation.
