Food Waste Reduction Toolkit

Food loss and waste occurs across the entire food chain but almost half of all surplus food occurs in homes. The N.C. Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service (DEACS) has developed a set of ready-to-use social media posts to educate the public about reducing food waste at home. The Food Waste Reduction Toolkit provides general tips and facts about donating food, date labels and best practices. DEACS encourages local governments, organizations and interested individuals to use and share these tips to #UseTheFoodNC.
