Our Food Bank Network is Here to Help — Find Food and Resources
The environmental legislation SB 1383 sets the landmark statewide edible food recovery requirement. Specifically, the law requires California to recover no less than 20% of edible food that would otherwise be disposed, to help feed people by 2025. This is a statewide goal, but local jurisdictions – your cities or county, depending on their approach – will implement plans to achieve the goal.
The new rules went into effect on January 1, 2022. The full implementation schedule is here.
