Thesis Abstract
Abstract
Food waste is a major global issue, with over one-third of all food produced going uneaten. This wasted food represents a loss of resources used in production as well as unnecessary methane emissions in landfills. There are opportunities to divert food waste from landfills through donations to food banks and composting programs. This project aims to research methods for reducing food waste at the consumer level through donations and home or community composting. Programs that incentivize donations and make composting accessible will be examined. The impacts of diverting food waste from landfills on greenhouse gas emissions and local food security will also be explored.
