Abstract

An active interdisciplinary Materials Management research team (nursing, anthropology, economics, environmental engineering, and food science) developed a pilot program with undergraduate, interdisciplinary students to examine food waste and opportunities for improvement. Through a mentoring process, students learned about food waste, circular food systems, interdisciplinary work, and the research process.
