"CSPI recommended that states get involved in developing robust funding for farm-to-food bank projects, since federal funding — though growing — is not enough to support all the opportunities in each state...Another key recommendation for more nutritious food banking is for states to impose bans on organic waste, thereby driving donations of fresh food that would otherwise go to landfills...The Center’s No. 1 recommendation is for the USDA to improve the nutritional quality of its distribution programs."
