Delaware Food System & Waste Panel Discussion
May 5
10:30am-12:30pm
Celebrate International Compost Awareness Week with Plastic Free Delaware and Zero Waste First State as we take a deep dive into understanding our state's food system and food waste issues. We will be joined by expert panelists who will share insight into these topics and help us better understand the complexities and connections between our food, our waste, and our ecosystems. With Delaware's landfill matter being 37% food waste, it is time to begin implementing initiatives to reduce food waste. Under its Zero Waste First State program, PFD will be discussing the launch of its Delaware Community Composting Initiative. The event will include an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
Panelists Include:
- Gail Hermenau, UD Cooperative Extension

- Rabiul Rafi, UD Food Recovery Network
- Chad Robinson, Food Bank of Delaware
- Greg Williams, DNREC
