In 2017, EPA set out to revise its food measurement methodology to more fully capture flows of excess food and food waste throughout the food system, and to provide more granular annual estimates of generation and management of excess food and food waste to the public. EPA developed a Scoping Memo that describes the measurement methodology EPA has used to date, as well as the enhanced methodology that EPA developed between 2017 and 2019. The enhanced methodology examined additional management pathways, which significantly expand the scope beyond EPA’s previous set of management pathways for food waste (i.e., composting, landfill, and combustion).
