Wilmington College Students and Faculty Take on Food Waste

At some point during the year, 38 million Americans ask themselves, “how will I eat today?” With more than 63 million tons of food thrown in the trash each year, it only seems responsible to question why is there so much hunger?

Agriculture students from Wilmington College (Ohio) have answered the call. Under the leadership of Corey Cockerill, PhD, and Michael Snarr, PhD, 20 young leaders traveled to Washington DC to learn from experts at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Foundation for Food and Agriculture (FFAR), Food Rescue US and Canada’s Agriculture Department to come up with real world solutions to address global food waste.
