A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:

A major focus of the Sustainable Food Program is to reduce the impact of Stanford Dining’s operations through efficiency measures, education of our staff and customers, collaborative efforts with our partners across campus and creative design solutions to complex behavioral challenges. The post-consumer composting program is an ideal example of these initiatives. Stanford employs Student Compost Coordinators, works with student groups, and sponsors class projects in the School of Engineering to monitor and improve the post-consumer composting program.
