College uses camera to cut food waste

With the press of a button, students can offer leftover food to their peers. The food cam is the latest sustainability effort from Emerson College in Boston.

The station was switched to full service to foster food safety and fight waste.

The foodservice industry has been at the forefront of helping those affected, and noncommercial operators in the path of the storm were some of the first to offer aid to local communities.

Students will be able to create their own dishes based on rotating themes, such as “street taco Mondays." Pre-prepped ingredients will be used to assemble the dishes.

The plan allows students who move in early to get on a plan before the semester starts. The plan lasts one week, ending when the fall semester’s meal plans begin.

The yearlong test program may eventually become a permanent fixture.

Starting this fall, students will be able to enjoy on-the-go items such as bento boxes and Greek yogurt panna cotta.

A partnership with UM's on-campus farm aims to aid the university’s sustainable sourcing goals.

Here’s how to bring a national brand to your space. While many operators are developing their own in-house brands, sometimes nothing but the big names will do.
