One state. One goal.​

Michigan has committed to cutting food waste in half by 2030, but we won’t get there alone.

The MI 2030 Food Waste Coalition brings together practitioners, nonprofits, businesses, and local governments from across the food system to share knowledge, resources, and opportunities for collaboration. Through regular meetings and ongoing connection, the Coalition helps turn a shared goal into coordinated action.

By bringing people and organizations together around a common vision, the Coalition strengthens efforts already underway and creates new opportunities to collaborate. Together, we’re moving Michigan beyond individual efforts toward the coordinated, systemic change needed to reduce food waste statewide.
