SUMMARY:Food Waste Reduction: Tools for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Are you overlooking one of the most impactful waste reduction opportunities? Let’s talk about it!!\n“To stop food from going to waste\, we need to make changes across the whole food system. That means all of us – the home cooks\, the schools\, the businesses – need to use every solution possible.” – Danielle Todd (Executive Director\, Make Food Not Waste) \nCities and organizations are implementing Materials Management Plans (MMPs) to improve recycling\, composting\, and overall sustainability outcomes. Yet they often overlook one of the most impactful opportunities: reducing food waste. This discussion explores how businesses\, institutions\, and municipalities can take actionable steps to cut waste\, lower costs\, and strengthen a more resilient local economy. \nJoin us in conversation with Danielle Todd\, Executive Director of Make Food Not Waste for a discussion on reducing food waste and building more sustainable communities. Danielle is a leader in advancing practical strategies for waste reduction and circular economy initiatives\, helping EGLE create their Michigan Food Waste Roadmap to identify strategies to meet Michigan’s food waste reduction goal of 50% by 2030. \nGain insight into how everyday operational decisions—such as food purchasing\, inventory management\, composting\, and donation programs—cut waste. As a result\, they improve efficiency and strengthen brand reputation. Moreover\, organizations of all sizes—from small businesses to large school districts—adopt zero-waste practices. In turn\, they see measurable benefits. Similarly\, municipal leaders and sustainability professionals integrate food waste reduction into zero-waste and circular economy plans. Consequently\, they align these efforts with city-wide sustainability goals. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nProven strategies for reducing food waste in business and institutional settings\nHow food waste reduction supports circular economy and sustainability goals\nWays municipalities can implement zero waste programs at every level\nThe business case for waste reduction: cost savings\, efficiency\, and community impact\nPractical steps for organizations to become part of the food waste solution\n\nBe part of the movement toward smarter materials management and a more sustainable future\, starting with food.\n\n Register on Eventbrite >> FoodWasteReduction.eventbrite.com
