Why RDNs Need to Be Trash Talking, Dr. Joan Salge Blake EdD, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND,

  • Event
  • Thursday, November 11, 2021
Details:

Up to 40 percent of the food in the United States is wasted. This translates to over $160 billion worth of edible food being tossed rather than consumed. Sadly, this wasted food, which is the single largest component of our landfills, rots in our town dumps producing methane, an environmentally ugly greenhouse gas. To add more misery to this issue, a huge amount of United States households are experiencing food insecurity forcing them to go to bed hungry.



So how can we stop wasting food, hurting the environment, and helping our hungry neighbors?



This session will show you why and how everyone, from the farmer to the consumer, can play an active role in reducing food waste.



WebEx link will be emailed to participants prior to November 11.
