Rewriting the Cycle: Food Waste Chronicles

At TAWA, we know that transformation comes from resilience. "Rewriting the Cycle" tells the story of how a global crisis sparked a movement to reshape our relationship with waste, food, and the environment. From the ashes of the COVID-19 pandemic, we rose to tackle the food crisis, where families struggled to find nourishment while vast amounts of food were being discarded.

 This is the only blog in the world that brings together the interconnected missions of food rescue, composting, and land reclamation, aligning with the EPA’s Food Recovery Hierarchy for sustainable management of food. By putting people first, ensuring edible food feeds those in need, providing surplus for animal feed, and composting what remains, we maximize every resource to build a truly circular and regenerative system. 

Our journey is about more than composting; it’s about creating a regenerative cycle that restores hope, builds community, and nourishes the earth. Through food recovery, composting, and sustainable practices, we are rewriting the way we think about resources—one cycle at a time. This blog will take you through the stories of innovation, the heroes of the movement, and the steps we’re taking to ensure a greener, more resilient future.
