'Aina Pono Cafeteria Waste Study: Kaua‘i Island Summary Report (KHF, 2021)
Beginning in 2017, Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation (KHF), a local environmental education nonprofit organization, conducted comprehensive cafeteria waste studies in schools piloting the Hawaiʻi DOE School Food Service Branch (SFSB) ʻAina Pono Farm to School program. In late 2019, KHF designed and executed a school food and milk waste audit study in 9 of the 15 public schools on Kauaʻi island, supported by Mālama Kauaʻi and Zero Waste Kauaʻi. This waste study serves as a reference of school lunch waste that can be used as the baseline for future farm to school planning efforts.
