California Senate Bill (SB) 1383 requires schools to divert organic waste from landfills into organic waste recycling programs and recover the maximum extent of edible food by reusing it in the program or donating it to food recovery organizations. But how are schools meeting this mandate? Tune in to this episode of The Lunch Break, where we dig into the law and discuss ways to be in compliance. We will take a pragmatic approach, discussing baby steps that will move your school nutrition program forward. Child Nutrition Director and Dietitian, Parisa Shukla, MDA, RD will share practical tips and tricks for how she has been meeting the requirements of SB 1383 at Cypress School District, and how she navigates certain challenges of this unfunded mandate. We'll wrap up with a live Q&A featuring questions from those who were able to join us during the live recording over zoom. Several resources were shared in the chat box during the live call and can be accessed by LunchAssist PRO members.
