School-wide composting and food waste reduction are powerful strategies for creating more sustainable and cost-effective school nutrition programs. This workshop will provide school food service professionals with practical guidance on implementing or strengthening composting systems, reducing food waste through everyday operations, and engaging students and staff in sustainable practices. Participants will leave with actionable strategies, tools for identifying food waste reduction opportunities, and the knowledge to build a successful school-wide composting program that supports both environmental and educational goals.
