2017 Food Waste Collaborative Conference/Webinar
The second annual conference of the OSU Food Waste Collaborative was held on Friday, September 15th. I attended via the live webinar stream.
Panel Discussion 1: Christina Rice (Harvard Food Law Policy Clinic) and Marc Bellemare (University of Minnesota) presented on the Opportunities to Reduce Waste in the 2018 Farm Bill and the Measurement of Food Waste
Panel Discussion 2: Roni Neff (John Hopkins University), Daniel Brown (Rust Belt Riders), and Jaclyn Hochreiter (Addison County BT SWCD) presented on Innovation at the State and Local Levels in terms of Food Waste.
Breakout Session: Reducing Lunch Room Waste: New Guidance for School Share Tables and Other Strategies
“A significant portion of food we grow and produce is never consumed, either left in the field or thrown in a landfill. Research indicates that as much as 40% of our food supply is wasted, with collateral damage that includes economic loss, unnecessary food insecurity as well as climate and environmental issues. Major contributors to the issue include confusion about food expiration labels, local composting rules, and liability surrounding food donations. The FWC conference will explore current trends in food policy that both help and hinder our ability to reduce this alarming amount of loss in the food system. National, state and local experts will join us live and via webcast for compelling conversations on policy-driven solutions.”
