Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: grant program: edible food.

Summary

The bill would let the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery award grants, using money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, to build or expand facilities that recover edible food for human consumption. Grants would be judged on how much additional food‑recovery capacity they create, along with existing criteria such as emissions cuts and benefits to low‑income communities. The goal is to divert more organic waste from landfills and lower greenhouse‑gas emissions.
