[Breakout Session III] From the Ground Up: Empowering Frontline Workers to Reduce Food Waste
Often the best solutions come from the people who are closest to the problem. Empowering frontline workers to develop strategies for addressing food loss and waste has surfaced creative and highly scalable solutions across the food system—in one case, driving more than a 70% reduction in wasted food within a manufacturing line. Join some of these frontline workers from U.S. Food Waste Pact signatory companies to hear how they’ve led high-impact work from the ground up—and how the Pact’s newly launched employee engagement toolkit can help your business.
