The Waste-to-Plate Project is a platform to produce knowledge, sustenance, pleasure, community, and political agency from food waste: a substantial and ever-increasing remainder of food production and food consumption, both in the United States and across the globe. A joint initiative of the research project “The Midwaste: Midwestern Wasteways and Global Futures” and the University of Michigan Sustainable Food Systems Initiative, The Waste-to-Plate Project encompasses a variety of activities dedicated to re-thinking the definition, ingestion, and enjoyment of consumable matter and to eating in ways that reflect our global food citizenship.
