    Update on Food Recovery Efforts and Healthy Food For All

    Brockel reports from his role as co-director of NPC and manager of the FEED Kitchen. Healthy Food For All is a program of the FEED Kitchen and the North Side Planning Council. HFFA began in 2015 with a $3,000 SEED grant from the Madison Food Policy Council. Food is the largest contributor to the Dane County landfill, with approximately 25% of total waste being organics, and a third of that food is edible at the point it was discarded. Brockel shares that 40% of food grown in the United States is never eaten. Food recovery is the diversion of edible food from the waste stream to bring back into the food system. Food recovery in Dane County has been occurring since early 1990s (Wisconsin Harvest). In 2015, HFFA began when farmers identified the need to increase gleaning of available food. That summer, Epic Systems approached the organization to manage food recovery for its major event. This became a weekly food recovery partnership. HFFA focus became recovery of large quantities of prepared food, leveraging FEED Kitchen commercial space for repackaging. Other partners now include Memorial Union catering, Pyle Center, and more. Farm pickups continue, including Troy Farm and other locations. End destinations include Second Harvest, food pantries, community centers, and some affordable housing locations. During the pandemic, HFFA was overwhelmed with restaurant donations, and served to connect salvaged ingredients for fresh meals distributed at FEED Kitchens. 2023 Community Action Coalition gleaners (formerly Wisconsin Harvest)—CAC decided to no longer operate the gleaner program. HFFA adopted the program as the Retail Food Recovery Program. 27 volunteers drive daily routes between grocery sites to deliver directly with end users. Collaborate with Second Harvest to manage relationships with state/national retailers (e.g. Pick n Save/Kroger, Walmart, Kwik Trip). Additional food recovery occurs through Second Harvest, and direct relationships between pantries and vendors. In 2025, focus has become farmers market collection to collect un-sold products. Buy One for a Neighbor program at farmers markets. Buy Out the Market events have also been helpful to support farmers. Today, HFFA is doing 250,000 lbs of recovery. With gleaning program, this is more than 1 million pounds of recovered food per year. Discussion: • How to vendors manage food safety? o Brockel: HFFA has developed protocols. No food is acquired from buffet tables or staging. Food must be cooled to transport, and staff will measure temperature. Commercial kitchen at FEED supports healthy and safe repackaging. Educate vendors about Emerson Good Samaritan law around good faith donations. • Is Costco on the gleaning list? o Brockel: They do donate to Second Harvest and Wayforward Resources. • Who is doing farm gleaning? o Brockel: HFFA did this for several years a decade ago. Today farmers prefer to pick product and bring it to markets. • GreenBox is interested in collaborating on some recovery work. Epic is managed by Badger Prairie Needs Network, other gleaning of prepared food would need support • How close are we to a more coordinated, collaborative recovery effort? How can we improve efforts? o Brockel: This work began before the pandemic, but opportunity exists to resume it. o Suri: can we form a landscape scan of assets and logistics, and can this be included in the Food Action Plan?  Bloedorn: REAP is working with an organization called Maize to develop an app that can create a market for • Have there been any connections to food hubs that can be gleaned from seconds markets (e.g. ugly produce)
