Abstract
This project was completed as part of the 2018-2019 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Ramsey County. In 2015, 12.7% of the population in Ramsey County did not have consistent access to enough food for an active and healthy life, or had limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate food. At the same time, food remains the largest source of solid waste by weight in Ramsey County, accounting for 26% of the total trash collected for disposal each year. Ramsey County project lead Rae Eden Frank worked with students participating in the Economic Development Fellowship Consulting Program to investigate strategies for reducing food waste and diverting edible food to sources where it can be distributed for human consumption. The students’ final report and presentation, and a poster and project brief summarizing the project, are available.
