[Breakout Session II] Wellness on Your Plate: The Intersection of Diet, Health, and Waste
What we eat—and what we don’t—is inextricably linked to our health and the health of our planet. Changing how we eat to be more mindful of our health can also combat food waste; think about balanced portion sizes or plant-forward diets with less wasted meat. This session features experts across the public health spectrum discussing how we can mobilize nutritional guidance, policy solutions, and product innovation to impact both public health and food waste reduction.
