The government is so inefficient in everything it does, this would just be another waste of taxpayer dollars
@9TLDMJL1mo1MO
Yes, but not in a way that introduces consequences to people who do. Programs can be created but only as encouragement to decrease food waste.
@9TK9C541mo1MO
No but require all private companies and corporations to donate all merchandise that could not be sold on time.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
invest in farmers who reuse the food watste. There is a pig farmer in the USA who recycles garbage to feed his pigs for record revenues. Our government should consider similar ideas.
@9RTLWCP3mos3MO
Yes, but make it a municipal issue, along with recycling, and incentivize the to throw waste properly
@9RFSJMH3mos3MO
depends on cost as much of the food waste now is a cost issue
@9RC2QHK3mos3MO
Yes, and charge/tax food companies based on how much product they throw out into trash.
@9NSN4GZ4mos4MO
