The ABCs of Reducing Food Waste in Schools: Nurturing Healthy Habits in the Classroom and Beyond
Breakout Session 1
How can we instruct and instill better food habits from the halls of the classroom to the cafeteria while nurturing healthy habits in students? Join us for an insightful discussion on implementing strategies to minimize food waste and promote nutrition in educational settings. This session will cover how a combination of strategies and interventions — like marketing healthy choices, providing nutrition education, and offering hands-on cooking and gardening programs for students — effectively work in unison to instill lifelong habits of mindful consumption from the classroom to their homes.
