Food Waste is a Problem: What can you do for your school?

Food waste is the single largest contributor to municipal landfills resulting in devastating impacts on our environment and public health. Rotting food in landfills produces methane—a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide. It is also a gross misuse of valuable resources since a portion of the food could have been used to feed people. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that over 38 million Americans, including nearly 12 million children, were living in food insecure households in 2019. In this session, we will discuss the unique opportunity schools have to address food waste and food insecurity. Learn what you can do to support food waste reduction and improve food security in your school!
