FA 4: Reduce food waste and hunger, achieve a 50% reduction in food insecurity community-wide by 2030.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

​​FA4-1 Collaborate with partners to strengthen and expand food rescue networks across the community, with the goal of boosting the retrieval of high-quality, nutritious food.  This can be achieved by increasing the capabilities of food relief organizations, identifying and resolving distribution obstacles, enhancing communication, and expanding the availability of rescued food.

FA4-2 Establish community gardens at local government and other publicly-owned spaces, especially those which can serve food insecure or low income community members.

FA4-3 Create collaborative partnerships with community-based organizations and affinity groups (including low-income populations and communities of color) focused on promoting healthier, low-carbon diets, encouraging local food production, increasing the affordability of and access to healthy food (e.g., through neighborhood food-buying clubs and coops), and reducing food waste​.

FA4-4 Create a community-wide mobile fresh food market to bring locally-produced fresh produce and perishable items to community members without farmer's markets or without a grocery store year-round, particularly during winter months.
