Join Bountiful Brookline and the Brookline Public Schools Food Services Department at a public event to mark the fifth annual National Food Day. This day seeks to promote real food and to increase awareness of food issues and food access across America.

We will feature a screening of the film “Just Eat It” an entertaining, yet compelling exploration of food waste from field to landfill.  Check out the trailer @ www.bountifulbrookline.org!

Following the film a panel of local experts representing food production, sales, procurement and recovery will discuss the impact of food waste on hunger, resources and the environment.

Panelists include:

Doug Rauch, Daily Table

Ashley Stanley, Lovin’ Spoonfuls

Jim Solomon, The Fireplace, Brookline

Alden Cadwell, Director, Brookline Public Schools Food Service

Nataka Crayton-Walker, Farmer, City Growers, Boston

Healthy snacks will be sold by Lincoln School students to raise funds for their new school garden.
