Every day, nearly one million pounds of food ends up in the Franklin County sanitary landfill, but food waste in central Ohio is on the decline thanks in part to a campaign from the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO).
SWACO’s goal is to cut in half the amount of food headed to the landfill by 2030.
We are taking a look at the issue of food waste and what's being done about it in central Ohio.
Guests:
- Joe Lombardi, Executive Director for SWACO
- Brian Roe, Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics at the Ohio State University & Director of the Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative
- Emily Rials, Assistant Site Director at Food Rescue US
