USDA Opens Application Period for Composting and Food Waste Reduction
Cooperative Agreements

USDA is accepting applications for Composting and Food Waste Reduction
(CFWR) pilot projects for fiscal year 2024. The cooperative agreements,
using remaining funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, are jointly
administered by USDA’s Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative
Production and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
Selected projects will develop and test strategies for planning and
implementing municipal compost plans and food waste reduction plans and are
part of USDA’s broader efforts to support urban agriculture.
