The top tier of EPA's Food Recovery Hierarchy is source reduction: reduce the volume of surplus food generated. Businesses and organizations can learn to effectively prevent wasted food by taking source reduction steps such as inventorying supplies, changing meal prep and buying less. Preventing wasted food provides the greatest potential for cost savings and resource conservation relative to the other Food Recovery Hierarchy activities.

Because source reduction can be challenging to understand, quantify and implement, in this webinar (the third in a series) you'll learn about the definition of source reduction and examples of award-winning cases at a restaurant, state park and county correctional facility that prevent wasted food at the source.
