Feeding the KC Region

Kansas City Food Wise is a regional effort to reduce food waste, increase access to healthy food and build a sustainable food system that benefits us, our community and our planet.

Take Action

Food loss and waste has an enormous negative impact on our community, economy and the environment. Take a bite out of food waste by taking simple steps at home.

The Plan

The Kansas City Regional Food Loss & Waste Reduction Action Plan provides solutions designed to reduce the amount of food that is wasted and sent to landfills in the Kansas City region.

Food Waste Bites

Food Waste Bites is a new initiative to eliminate food waste in the Kansas City region’s food service industry. It takes a hands-on approach to help restaurants, caterers, cafeterias, grocery stores and other food service operations take a comprehensive approach to food waste reduction.
