Food Waste Solutions
Presented by the Healthy Foods, Healthy Lives Institute
Registration and breakfast at 8:15 am
Our spring symposium is "Food Waste Solutions." According to the USDA, more than one-third of all food in the United States goes uneaten through loss or waste. This has tremendous implications for the environment, economy, and human health.
MnTAP's Matt Dromski will be presenting as well.
But what can we do about it? Keynote speaker Tristram Stuart will set the stage for a conversation exploring some of the most promising solutions for preventing wasted food in our food system.
