Statewide Prevention of Wasted Food & Food Rescue Grant

We are excited to share that the Statewide Prevention of Wasted Food and Food Rescue Grant program through the Climate Smart Food Systems initiative is now open for applications! Apply by April 28.

This $12.5 million dollar grant program will focus on decreasing the amount of food being wasted across the state through projects that will prevent wasted food from being generated, prevent food from going to waste, or projects that rescue edible food from disposal and redirect it for human consumption.    

• See the MPCA’s Preventing Wasted Food page to learn more about wasted food
• Read about past projects from a similar previous MPCA grant opportunity.
• There is more information on the MN Climate-Smart Food Systems website about other funding options. 

Applications due: Tuesday, April 28
