The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC), in conjunction with partner agencies, is taking part in this week’s third annual Food Waste Prevention Week with a number of virtual engagement and educational opportunities aimed at informing residents about the importance of reducing waste and increasing food recovery. A statewide food drive is also underway to help improve food security.
Throughout the year, TDEC provides education and outreach as well as technical assistance to organizations to address food waste through the Get Food Smart TN program. To learn more about the program, visit GetFoodSmartTN.com.
