## Policy Issues
- [Food Waste Deterrence](https://atlas.foodbanking.org/issue/food-waste-deterrence/): Governments should establish food donation requirements or food waste deterrence laws that require that food is recovered and donated instead of going to waste\.
- [On\-Farm Food Loss \& Agricultural Recovery](https://atlas.foodbanking.org/issue/farm-food-loss-agricultural-recovery/): Farm\-stage food loss accounts for more food lost than at the retail and consumer levels combined\. Targeted policies can turn surplus crops into a resource for communities in need\.
- [Special Report: Food Donation Operations During COVID\-19](https://atlas.foodbanking.org/issue/special-report-food-donation-operations-during-covid-19/): Amid the COVID\-19 crisis and exacerbated rates of food insecurity, urgent and effective policy opportunities are needed to scale food recovery operations\.
- [Voluntary Carbon Markets](https://atlas.foodbanking.org/issue/voluntary-carbon-markets/): Carbon markets are a growing finance opportunity for food banks and food recovery organizations but come with complex considerations and tradeoffs\. Countries should regulate voluntary carbon markets and support food recovery organizations looking to enter markets\.  
- [Government Grants \& Incentives](https://atlas.foodbanking.org/issue/government-grants-incentives/): National and local grants and incentives can scale food donation, especially in countries where tax benefits are insufficient or where limited infrastructure hinders food recovery\.
