​Come find out—and tell us what YOU want to change.

​Join us for a lively conversation with local leaders working to prevent food waste and rescue surplus before it reaches the landfill.

​Bring your questions, stories, and ideas. This is a dialogue, not a lecture — and we want to hear from you!

​At this roundtable, we'll dig into:

​· The Climate Connection: why food waste matters

​· Institutions: where large opportunities live

​· Restaurants: preventing waste behind the scenes

​· Grocery Stores: reducing and rescuing food past its prime

​· Households: everyday choices that add up

​More than one-third of all food produced for human consumption is never eaten, while food waste contributes an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

​Speakers Include:

• ​Weslynne Ashton, Illinois Tech Food Systems Lab

• ​Tracy Cammack, The Paramount Group and Illinois food Scrap & Composting Coalition

• ​Jennifer Dowd, Seven Generations Ahead and Wasted Food Action Alliance

• ​Stephanie Katsaros, Bright Beat and Chicago Sustainability Task Force

• ​Alex Poltarek, The Urban Canopy

• ​Kayla White, Salesforce
