NourishSmart: Food Waste Reduction Program
Saturday February 22, 2025 4:00pm - 5:00pm MST
Join us for a chance to win a blender that can help you support class projects and support food waste reduction. 1 in 10 children in Utah faces hunger (Feeding America, 2019). There is a constant gap in feeding food-insecure children healthy meals in schools with limited resources and tons of food being discarded (Nargi, 2019). Join us to learn how to effectively deliver a program focused on food waste reduction, aligned with Utah educational standards, National 4-H priorities, and public health priorities. We will offer practical strategies to combat the critical issue of food waste using our comprehensive, hands-on curriculum tailored for delivery in an Afterschool program. Gain insights into the environmental, economic, and social impacts of food waste, and walk away equipped to inspire your students to make a difference.
