Sustainability Students Bring RepEAT to School
On Monday, students of Sustainability and Food Production in Italy conducted a workshop about food waste, introducing the RepEAT project to 50 high school students of Liceo Classico Annibale Mariotti in Perugia. Umbra students explained the social, environmental and economic costs of wasting food, and promoted awareness about th
e use of RepEAT to-go boxes in partner restaurants. High school students were also asked to talk about their personal habits as well as possible solutions to decrease food waste. The workshop ended with a presentation of anti-waste recipes that the Italian students collected through interviews with members of their families. Umbra hopes to expand this collaboration with area schools in the coming semesters.
