Description:
Around one-third of all edible food produced yearly is discarded as waste. At the same time, more than 828 million people globally are nutritionally undernourished. With a focus on global sustainability and the interrelationship between equity, environmental harm, and economic drivers, this lecture addresses the causes and consequences of food waste on the individual and global food waste from production to consumption and finally disposal.
In our event series Climate in Crisis, we explore the challenges of climate change as well as the U.S. approach to climate action, environmental activism, and climate (in)justice.
