We partnered with the Maine Department of Corrections to conduct a food waste tracking and measuring study at the Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston, Maine. This study completed out 2022\/23 pilot with the four major MDOC facilities (including Maine State Prison, Bolduc, and the Women’s Reentry Center).<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mountain View food waste study began on 11\/7\/22 and was completed on 12\/10\/2022.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project Goals\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. To reduce food waste costs and volume.<\/li>\n
  2. To identify food waste causes and recommend solutions.<\/li>\n
  3. To identify an effective (fast, easy, and useful) food service food waste tracking system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Results\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Total Plate Waste was reduced by 18% over the course of the study<\/li>\n
    • The largest contribution to Plate Waste costs was uneaten fruits and vegetables (35% of total Plate Waste cost).<\/li>\n
    • Plate Waste (vs. Kitchen Waste) was the largest contributor to total food waste at roughly 73%. So, interventions targeting Plate Waste like food quality or resident choice would be more effective than altering kitchen practices.<\/li>\n
    • Pre-planned daily menus require new food production resulting in the disposal of leftover food. Reusing 50% of overproduced food would save MDOC between $40,000 and $88,935 per year. MDO will alter menus to allow for creative use of leftovers (ex: soups, hash, salads, pasta, casseroles) further reducing food waste and costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
