About this event
Tackling food waste can yield many benefits for businesses, nonprofits, institutions and municipal governments that are directly or indirectly involved with food management and/or food recovery. The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute will present on experiences across New York State focused on turning waste streams into value-add products, setting up a diversion program, and a implementing a community scale composting pilot. We will also highlight available resources that include technical assistance, best practices, and tools to reduce and recover food waste through the Institute.
