10 Years of Public Policies and Initiatives, 8/23

What lessons can we draw from the French and Californian pioneering regulations and initiatives against food waste? What are the challenges ahead? Join us for an international perspective!

Marie Mourad, PhD, will present her recently published book (in French) From Dumpsters to Dinners: 10 years of Fighting Food Waste in France and the United States. Based on more than 300 interviews with experts and stakeholders, Marie’s research takes an in-depth, critical but constructive look at public policies, innovative start-ups, and corporate and non-profit initiatives addressing food waste in California and France.

Marie Mourad has a PhD in Sociology and over 10 years of experience working as a food, waste, and sustainability expert and consultant for non-profits and governmental agencies in the U.S. and Europe. She currently assists San Francisco Department of the Environment and other jurisdictions in California in implementing SB1383 edible food recovery requirements.
