Waste Not, Want Not Day
Saturday, September 20, 2014, 8:00 am - 2:00 pm
More than 40 percent of food in the United States goes uneaten—that’s 20 pounds of food per person per month. Meanwhile, 17.6 million U.S. households are food insecure, meaning they lack consistent access to healthy, nourishing food. For Hunger Action Month, join CUESA in exploring ways to close the food gap and make the most of the bounty.
Food Runners produce drive (8:00 am – 2:00 pm; south driveway): Donate farmers market products to feed the hungry.
Discovery Station (10:00 am – 1:00 pm; south driveway): Meet local organizations working on food recovery and access, including NRDC, Cooking Matters, Food Shift, and SF-Marin Food Bank, and find out what you can do to help.
Seasonal cooking demos (11:00 am – 12:45 pm): Don’t toss those beet greens! This week’s cooking demos will feature creative ways to stretch your food dollar, avoid food waste, and get the most out of the whole vegetable or animal.
11:00 am: Robin Song, Hog & Rocks
12:00 pm: Tara Duggan, author of Root to Stalk Cooking
All demos take place in the CUESA Classroom (under the white tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.
