Session Description

Edible food recovery capacity planning is a new territory for jurisdictions across the State.  Hear about how Orange County and Santa Clara County chose to take a comprehensive county-wide look at edible food recovery capacity planning. 


Orange County worked with its local jurisdictions to host meetings, send out a survey and provide support to quantify the county-wide edible food recovery capacity numbers.  Part of this planning process included identifying resources needed to increase capacity at EFRO’s, such as more refrigerated storage, scales to weigh donated food, and more funding for permanent employees. 
 
Santa Clara is one of the leading counties in the State for edible food recovery capacity planning, with an effort that started long before 2020 with the development of County-wide infrastructure investments in the A La Carte food collection and distribution system.  The County’s Technical Advisory Committee utilizes Countywide funds under an MOA rather than a JPA, and is working collaboratively to implement a County-wide edible food program including management and monitoring by a third party consultant, and capacity analysis contracted on behalf of all 15 cities.  

Attendees of the overall session will learn about:
