Educating through Food and Storytelling

The From Farm to Fork event focused on displaying the issue of food waste and food security through a menu that was not only locally produced but also exposed the reality of food insecure populations.

The Credo Kitchen event successfully fed 40 individuals on a budget of $147.60, or $3.69 per person for 3 meals. This was done by only buying locally, however, we had a vast amount of advantages, such as the support of the ambassadorship, accessibility to farms, the support of CAS and Geneseo, and the knowledge capital behind the menu creation.

Credo 1

We are three college students researching food sustainability and making efforts to reduce our production of food waste. Over 30% of food produced in the US is never consumed and ends up filling up landfills and releasing methane into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, more than 40 million Americans are food insecure. There are, however, many things we can do as consumers to do our part in reducing food waste. This blog will serve as a way to document our personal experiences making efforts to reduce food waste as well as a way to educate others about how to be more conscious consumers on a college campus

We were able to put [these] pamphlets on all the tables at Food Studio North in Letchworth dining complex in the hopes that students will dine while being more conscious of their consumption habits.
