Abstract
Food Recovery Efforts for Upstream and Downstream Benefits (I1.A2)
Highlights
The program achieves these goals by donating food to people who are food insecure, sharing data with dining services to better guide their purchasing and decision-making process, and reducing emissions by diverting food waste from the landfill
The progress toward these goals is guided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Food Recovery Hierarchy, a model to show the best options for addressing excess food
The primary goal of the Razorback Food Recovery (RFR) program is to eliminate food waste at the University of Arkansas. This can be achieved through the elimination of “food waste” by delivering the unused food to local food pantries or by using the data associated with the collection to learn how to better anticipate the level of food preparation to reduce the unused food
Summary
The program achieves these goals by donating food to people who are food insecure, sharing data with dining services to better guide their purchasing and decision-making process, and reducing emissions by diverting food waste from the landfill. Once volunteers are selected for each of the dining halls, the board for RFR initiates indepth training for them on the program, the recovery process, the distribution process, data collecting, and outcome of recovering food.
