The Food Council has submitted written testimony in support of numerous food-related bills this legislative session, including Maryland House Bill 743 – Yard Waste and Food Residuals Diversion and Infrastructure Task Force, sponsored by Delegate Shane Robinson (District 39), which would create a Task Force to identify means to promote investment in infrastructure to expand food waste recovery, evaluate the current recovery of food waste in Maryland, identify opportunities for expansion, and more. The Institute for Local Self-Reliance, active partners in our Environmental Impact Working Group, led an advocacy campaign supporting this legislation.
