Sustainability programs reduce food waste, help manage insecurity


University of Wisconsin students and faculty are attempting to change the way food is treated on campus to minimize waste. The dining halls compost leftovers, and food is also donated to Campus Kitchens, which serves food-insecure students. Food Shed is a new initiative to share food grown for research in refrigerators around campus, open to all. Leaders hope these initiatives reduce food insecurity and waste simultaneously.
