Student employees, Cornell Dining and student organizations exercise multifaceted efforts to reduce the waste of food in dining halls and redistribute food to the local community. More frequently, Cornell donates leftover food to the Food Recovery Network. “I have personally tried my best to mitigate food waste by being conscious of dropped food, but it was difficult,” Hisajima said.

Food waste means wasted resources and energy, and we need to do everything we can to fight climate change,” Hisajima said.
