Questions to investigate
- Who prepares, serves, and eats the food?
- What is being wasted, and why?
- Which change could we safely test?
Food & resources · Illustrative project
Could our school waste less food?
Follow the journey from kitchen to bin. Find out where food is lost and what your community could change.
← All project ideas
A starting point for inquiry, not a tested intervention. Develop the project with an adult mentor and relevant local experts.
A possible public product
A waste audit and a proposal for a small pilot.
How you might measure progress
Compare food waste before and during a pilot, using the same measurement method.
Use AI thoughtfully
Use AI to develop interview questions or compare possible approaches. Check claims against original sources and local expert advice. Keep private information out of prompts.
Before you start
Agree access, permissions, safe observation methods and responsibilities with your school or adult organizer. Avoid collecting personal information and make sure proposed changes are reviewed by the people responsible for the space.
