(6/6) Implementing a strategic outreach plan for incentive programs like the Food Recovery Challenge can allow organizations to see internal benefits to making environmentally/socially responsible choices. More involvement can also increase consumer awareness #POEcap

[Maggie Brown @amaggiebrown]

(5/6) 75 organizations within Region 10 (U.S. EPA) responded to my online survey. Out of which, 92% plan to start/continue to make efforts to reduce food waste. Organizations also believe their efforts are important to consumers & are interested in receiving recognition #POEcap

[Maggie Brown @amaggiebrown]

(4/6) For my research I designed & administered an online survey sent out to 826 organizations in Region 10, eligible for the Food Recovery Challenge, conducted a literature review and took part in current FRC participant outreach as part of work w/ the U.S. EPA MMAS Team #POEcap

[Maggie Brown @amaggiebrown]

(3/6) My research asked: What can motivate organizations to take interest in the Food Recovery Challenge (FRC) and what are effective methods of outreach? #POEcap

[Maggie Brown @amaggiebrown]

(2/6) We need to implement sustainable practices around food waste prevention within organizations, however, convincing organizations to make environmentally/socially responsible choices can be a challenge since the beneficiary is often society vs. the organization itself #POEcap

[Maggie Brown @amaggiebrown]

(1/6) In the United States alone, 30-40% of the food supply ends up as food waste (USDA 2015). When food is thrown away, we also throw away natural resources. #POEcap #wastenot
