On July 1, 2014, the first mandate of a new state law goes into effect that will ultimately ban all food scraps from landfills. As Act 148 is phased in, organizations that work in Vermont's food systems are rallying around the idea of 'food rescue' - redirecting wasted food to a higher purpose to feed people, animals or be composted. Monday on Vermont Edition: food rescue, and the effort to keep food on plates and out of the trash.
Tell us how your community has looked at food waste, composting and food rescue -- post below or write to vermontedition@vpr.net.
Also in the program, Sumer School! We get in a lesson in fencing from Viveka Fox of the Vermont Fencing Alliance.
And, music by Anders Parker. His new album, There’s A Blue Bird In My Heart, is out this month and he'll perform a few tracks live in the VPR studios.
Broadcast live on Mon., June 30, 2014 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
