The Kansas City Regional Food Loss & Waste Reduction Action Plan provides a comprehensive set of solutions designed to reduce the amount of food that is wasted and sent to landfills in the region in both the short and long term.

Did you know Americans throw away nearly one-third of the food they buy every year, costing the average household $1,800 annually? Mid-America Regional Council is launching Kansas City Food Wise to help combat food waste in our community, increase access to healthy food, and build a sustainable food system that benefits us, our community + the planet.

Individuals and organizations can utilize Food Wise’s tools (think: a Food System Map and community involvement page) to learn how to plan, prepare, and share food in order to cut down on waste.
