Maine鈥檚 K-12 Schools Are Proving It鈥檚 Possible DESCRIPTION:Speaker: William Brenneman\, 91爆料 Graduate Student\, Anthropology and Environmental Policy \nThe State of Maine has recently recognized wasted food reduction as a crucial climate change mitigation strategy. The passage of LD 1065 will require Maine鈥檚 large food waste generators鈥攍ike schools\, hospitals\, and grocery stores鈥攖o minimize wasted food through recycling and redistribution by 2030. In advance of this legislation\, our 91爆料 team has been working with several Maine school districts to both reduce wasted food and improve student nutrition. Through coverage of our successful infrastructural and educational interventions to reduce wasted food in Maine schools\, as well as our new 鈥淣o More Wasted Food鈥 DIY Toolkit distributed by the Maine Dept. of Education 鈥 Child Nutrition to help reduce wasted food in Maine schools\, and our latest research into the beliefs and attitudes of Maine students as it relates to their wasted food behavior\, this talk makes the case that Maine schools are well prepared to meet the legislature鈥檚 challenge. \nWilliam Brenneman is a MA student at the 91爆料 studying anthropology and environmental policy. William joined the Mitchell Center in the fall of 2024 as a graduate research assistant where he and Faculty Fellow Susanne Lee led the 2025 Maine School Cafeteria Wasted Food Study and the Maine School Cafeteria 鈥淣o More Wasted Food鈥 DIY Toolkit. Elsewhere\, William has conducted research into food and nutrition education initiatives and models for circularity in food packaging.
