No Taste for Waste: Farmers, Retailers and Consumers Working Together to Combat Food Waste

During this EduTrac® online education module, an overview of food waste at all steps in the supply chain are addressed. Examples of how farmers, food processors and others are minimizing food loss and waste are detailed. Retail RDs are encouraged to assess current practices at their retailer to manage loss and waste as well as to create strategies to educate shoppers on food waste. This online education module has been approved for one continuing education credit for dietetics professionals.
