World Food Day at the Lyle Center

By some estimates, as much as 650 pounds of food goes to waste for each American each year. Food Waste is a problem that affects us all. Please join the staff of Cal Poly Pomona's John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies for its World Food Day event and help develop solutions for this problem.


We will start the event out by giving some information about the food waste problem, briefly explain the food system and define key terms. We’ll also define the problem and scope. Then we’ll be dividing people up into groups to brainstorm, discuss and share ideas. 


We only have a few hours so we don’t expect to solve the world’s problems but what we’d like to do is facilitate discussion and creative thinking in the hope that it will connect people to each other and energize them around finding solutions to the problem of food waste. 

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
