Sustainability Workshop: Food Waste Reduction (2/12/20)

Wasted food is a growing problem in our modern society. In 2015, more than 39 million tons of food waste was generated, and only 5.3 percent was diverted from landfills. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that more food reaches landfills and incinerators than any other single material in our everyday trash. Bernadet Garcia-Silva, MPH will cover possible food waste reduction options that can help with this growing problem.

 

Date: February 12, 2020 

 

Speaker: Bernadet Garcia-Silva, MPH
