*Monthly Forum: NYC Food Waste - Upcycling and Impact *

[image: image.png]

How much food do you think goes to waste each day in NYC? How can we create
a more sustainable food ecosystem that addresses the environmental, social,
and financial realities of food waste? How can we curb food scraps from
landfills, prevent avoidable food spoilage, and get food to those in need?

Come join us at GreenHomeNYC's March forum to hear from innovators tackling
the most difficult food waste challenges in NYC. Our diverse mix of
presenters will provide ideas and insights into how our city is tackling
food waste on the public, private, non-profit, academic, and individual
level.
