Food waste is often preventable; wasting less food saves money and is a climate solution!

Join our self-guided Scrap Food Waste Challenge, and learn how to measure what foods you're wasting and how to prevent waste in the first place.

The next Challenge will be in September 2024. Stay tuned! Participants will receive regular emails on the following themes:

Week 1: Understanding and measuring food waste
Week 2: Strategic shopping and savvy storage
Week 3: Careful cooking and eating with intent

Join the Challenge!

Sign up for the challenge through Constant Contact or email Alyssa Eiklor (alyssa.eiklor@vermont.gov) to learn more.
