Part of its Short Lived Climate Pollutants mitigation strategy, this law sets statewide targets to reduce the amount of food going into landfills and requires that commercial food waste producers (like grocery stores and other consumer facing businesses and institutions) donate at least 20% of edible food (as opposed to easier solutions like biodigestion or compost).

”“In a world of seven billion people, set to grow to nine billion by 2050, wasting food makes no sense – economically, environmentally and ethically, aside from the cost implications, all the land, water, fertilisers and labour needed to grow that food is wasted – not to mention the generation of greenhouse gas emissions produced by food decomposing on landfill and the transport of food that is ultimately thrown away.”
