This resolution supports recognizing September 29, 2025, as International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. About 40% of all food produced globally is wasted, costing more than $1 trillion a year, while 783 million people go hungry. Food waste also accounts for 8–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. has committed to cutting food loss and waste in half by 2030, and the resolution acknowledges the importance of prevention methods to reach that goal.
