Environmental justice listening session
Sustainable Food Management Grants
May 14, 2026, 12 p.m. PT, Online webinar
Join us May 14, 2026 for an online environmental justice listening session on the 173-316 WAC Sustainable Food Management Grants rulemaking.
We are starting the rulemaking process for a new rule, Chapter 173-316 WAC Sustainable Food Management Grants, to establish and implement new grant programs under the Washington Center for Sustainable Food Management. This rule will establish participant and project eligibility, additional grant eligibility, and reporting criteria. The rule will also establish criteria to help ensure applicants and projects reduce emissions from landfills and waste-to-energy facilities through the diversion of organic materials and food waste prevention, rescue, and recovery.
We are exploring options through rulemaking to ensure that programs and investments benefit overburdened and food-insecure communities and strengthen local food systems.
