1 Food Waste Solutions Request for Proposals Phase I Date issued: November 16, 2015 Deadline for LOI submissions: December 2, 2015

2 Introduction The Walmart Foundation is pleased to release an open Request for Proposals (RFP) to non-profit organizations for an initiative focused on promoting ways to reduce food waste in the United States. The initiative seeks to support promising programs that have the potential to significantly reduce food waste at the production, processing and household levels. We are seeking two types of proposals: innovation proposals, focused on testing new approaches to reducing food waste; and scale proposals, focused on accelerating and replicating proven models. Requests between $100,000 and $500,000 will be considered. We expect to provide up to $3 million in funding for all projects. Grantees are encouraged to leverage resources through cash and in-kind cost-sharing contributions. The Walmart Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified organizations throughout the country that have experience in formulating, proposing and implementing food waste reduction efforts. We are seeking to support organizations that have a proven record of success in implementing programs with positive outcomes. Context Food waste is an urgent global issue, with substantial repercussions in terms of both food security and the environment. The United Nations Environment Programme reports that roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year approximately 1.3 billion tons gets lost or wasted. 1 Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from production to household consumption. Food waste is a pressing environmental issue worldwide and in the U.S., with significant implications for the waste stream, resource use and climate change. The EPA reports that food waste is the single largest category of municipal solid waste sent to landfills in the U.S. over 30 million tons each year. Food waste and organic matter in landfills produces 18% of U.S. methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. Research from Natural Resources Defense Council indicates that getting food from the farm to tables in the U.S. alone: consumes 10% of our total energy budget; uses 50% of our land; and swallows 80% of the freshwater consumed in the U.S. 2 Resource conservation along food value chains is also vitally important to global food security. Feeding those of us currently inhabiting the planet is already a challenge, and will only become more testing when global population surpasses more than nine billion in The United Nations has predicted that we will need up to 70% more food to feed that projected population, not only because there will be more mouths to feed, but also because reductions in poverty have meant people s daily intake has increased as well. In the U.S. alone, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that more than 48 million people were food insecure in 2014, meaning they might have lacked reliable access to a sufficient 1 The environmental crisis: The environment s role in averting future food crisis UNEP, How America Is Losing Up to 40 Percent of Its Food from Farm to Fork to Landfill NRDC, 2012 Page 2 of 7

3 quantity of affordable, nutritious food. While millions of Americans face hunger, as much as 40% of food in the U.S. goes uneaten more than 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food in The relationship between food waste and food insecurity is not linear both issues are part of complex systems, with a variety of solutions. Despite increased focus on these issues, significant inroads towards reducing waste have remained elusive. Objectives The purpose of this initiative is to reduce food waste in the U.S. and demonstrate that reasonable, practical solutions to do so are within our reach. We seek outcomes that: make meaningful progress in reducing food waste through replicable models; and address critical problems along food supply chains at the production, processing and household levels. We seek to support: innovative ideas that prove promising in the near term; and proven solutions that can be brought to scale. Potential to prove measurable impact in reducing food waste in the near term will be given important consideration. Illustrative activities to attain this objective may include, but are not limited to: Reducing losses in farming by finding ways to adopt and encourage full field consumption and make increased use of out-of-spec product. Optimizing processing so overruns are made available for donations, and uses become more efficient and aligning product with upstream and downstream processes, users and consumers. Retaining food quality for longer periods through innovations in packaging, technology and/or preparation. Rescuing food for distribution to food insecure people. Finding alternative uses for waste such as the use of bagasse for other industries, alternative energy sources, and compost. Developing, sharing and implementing best practices among institutions that can quickly replicate efforts and scale-them up in similar institutions such as education, hotels, cafes, restaurants, and hospitals. 3 The Estimated Amount, Value and Calories of Postharvest Food Losses at the Retail and Consumer Levels in the United States USDA Economic Research Service, 2014 Page 3 of 7

4 Solving systemic barriers in food waste, through projects such as: o Improving the quality of data regarding food waste along supply chains and make information available to consumers and managers to make more informed decisions. There exists a need to understand where the opportunities lie, be better informed, and increase transparency throughout food chains. o Increasing consumer and household awareness through education campaigns and the development of tools to make better decisions on nutrition, shopping and preservation. Definitions For the purpose of this RFP, food waste is defined as: any food substance designed for human consumption which is discarded or otherwise lost at any point along the food supply chain.
