In this session, members of the author team will provide some background as to the discussions and questions that motivated the creation of the Squander Sequence model and the overall approach to the topic and the paper, as well as highlighting new academic research that has tackled issues identified in the paper.

The session will then move to an interdisciplinary panel discussion facilitated by Dr. Cait Lamberton and featuring Dr. Brian Roe and Dr. Jennifer Otten, all of whom are members of the National Academies of Science Commission on Food Waste. They will discuss opportunities for research in the area of food waste, including how to make an impact on practice and policy. The session will conclude with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage in a discussion on issues of interest to them in the context of food waste and food well-being.
