WSU Food Systems HUB Call
In 2020 the WSU Food Systems Program created a networking and resource sharing space which we now call the HUB. We re-launched this event as a four part series in the winter/spring of 2023 to meet current needs.
Click the links below to view past recordings and shared resources, all sessions are available for free on our WSU Food Systems YouTube Channel as well.
Register here and join us on April 17th at 1pm!
Reducing food waste is an important component of a sustainable food system. WSU Assistant Professor Diane Smith has been working to increase food access in the face of climate change, and has developed programming in food waste reduction. She recently led her second Food Waste Prevention Week campaign. Join us on April 17th as she shares an overview of efforts, reflections on challenges and successes, and how your organization can join the effort to reduce food waste.
