The event, hosted by Project Green Fork during Food Waste Week, included food trivia, prizes, and two food trucks, Flipside Asia and Good Groceries. Project Green Fork notes on their website that “we waste up to 40 percent of food grown for human consumption. Most of this food ends up in landfills where it gives off methane gas that is driving climate change. Additionally, in Memphis nearly one in five residents is food insecure. We’re throwing away the solution to two problems and creating new ones.”

The event will feature three rounds of food waste trivia, a culinary demo using surplus ingredients, and a volunteer recognition.”
