Food Waste Prevention Week
About Food Waste Prevention Week
In 2024, 29% of the U.S. food supply—about 70 million tons—went unsold or uneaten.1 In Tennessee alone, that's approximately 1.25 million tons of food.2
Each year, Tennessee businesses, organizations, schools, and communities join in the National Food Waste Prevention Week to raise awareness, inspire action, and reconnect with the value of food. In 2026, Food Waste Prevention Week will be held September 28th through October 4th.
