At the January meeting of the Society the inclement weather made it impossible for the scheduled speaker to travel from Washington, DC. We were fortunate that a guest, Dr. Zhengxia Dou, of the University of Pennsylvania, was able to fill in with a wonderful presentation on the major conference on food waste recently held in Philadelphia. Her fine presentation extended our information and discussion of food waste as a key to food sustainability. Dr. Dou kindly provides her presentation as follows >> PennVet Dr Dou on food waste
