SUMMARY:Talk ā€“ No More Wasted Food by 2030? Maineā€™s K-12 Schools Are Proving Itā€™s Possible
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: William Brenneman\, University of Maine Graduate Student\, Anthropology and Environmental Policy \nThe State of Maine has recently recognized wasted food reduction as a crucial climate change mitigation strategy. The passage of LD 1065 will require Maineā€™s large food waste generatorsā€”like schools\, hospitals\, and grocery storesā€”to minimize wasted food through recycling and redistribution by 2030. In advance of this legislation\, our 91ø£Ąū team has been working with several Maine school districts to both reduce wasted food and improve student nutrition. Through coverage of our successful infrastructural and educational interventions to reduce wasted food in Maine schools\, as well as our new ā€œNo More Wasted Foodā€ DIY Toolkit distributed by the Maine Dept. of Education ā€“ Child Nutrition to help reduce wasted food in Maine schools\, and our latest research into the beliefs and attitudes of Maine students as it relates to their wasted food behavior\, this talk makes the case that Maine schools are well prepared to meet the legislatureā€™s challenge. \nWilliam Brenneman is a MA student at the University of Maine studying anthropology and environmental policy. William joined the Mitchell Center in the fall of 2024 as a graduate research assistant where he and Faculty Fellow Susanne Lee led the 2025 Maine School Cafeteria Wasted Food Study and the Maine School Cafeteria ā€œNo More Wasted Foodā€ DIY Toolkit. Elsewhere\, William has conducted research into food and nutrition education initiatives and models for circularity in food packaging.
