Food Waste Reduction: Pathways to Diversity, Sustainability, and Humane Education

Abstract

The topic of food waste has civic, ecological, and economic implications on a global scale. It impacts the environment, social justice, animal welfare, resource management and the stewardship of nature. This workshop presentation will explore the full range of intersectional possibilities as the co-facilitators, through the power of context, share the work that the Detroit Zoological Society has undertaken to tackle this societal ill. We will provide participants with strategies and potential solutions to discuss related to the production, processing, distribution, retail, and consumption of food.
