Based on their number of locations, our schools are the largest restaurant chain in the United States. So how can we help them cut down on the amount of food they waste every school day? For this discussion, we’ll be talking with representatives from K-12 school districts in New Hampshire, Maine, and Maryland to learn what they’re doing to address the problem—and how their experiences can serve as a model for others.
