  • In Michigan, food waste is fueling climate change as methane emissions from landfills soar. Ranking 8th nationwide for food waste landfilled, the state sees 58% of fugitive landfill methane emissions stemming from discarded food.
  • Volunteers and organizations are stepping up, distributing food to those in need, tackling pre-consumer waste, and advocating for composting and rescue efforts.
  • Yet, Michigan's policy landscape remains sparse, with limited and uneven implementation hindering progress.
