She tailored her knowledge to the specific needs of food startups as well as engaged and motivated our community. Her enthusiasm and commitment to this topic inspired and challenged us in ways we didn’t think possible.””
“My organization was lucky enough to work with Dana on a food waste project this year, focused around conducting in-depth consultations with food retailers on their food waste practices, and from these creating an industry-wide set of self-assessment tools and best practices. Working with Dana was a dream, because we quickly discovered she’s not only one of the foremost food waste experts in the U.S., with hands-on experience on nearly every topic related to it, but she’s also just a true joy to work with. She brought thoughtfulness, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm to every aspect of the project, and that meant everything when it came to getting our retailers truly mobilized around actioning her recommendations. The resources she developed provide clear, science-backed guidance and concrete examples, and are among the best tools we’ve been able to provide to the industry to date. Hundreds of people in our network of retailers have already gained greater clarity on their food waste efforts from them, and I really hope we can work with Dana on future iterations of the project.”
