Abstract

ABSTRACTThe paradox of food insecurity and food waste existing side by side in developed countries is also widely observed at institutions of higher education (IHEs) across North America.

Food wastes collected in campus composting green bins made up 43% of currently compostable food wastes at UNBC and only 26% of both currently and potentially compostable food wastes.
