Laura Moreno

Laura Moreno’s work focuses on research and action in food waste measurement, prevention and disposal. She is a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley and project manager for a food waste measurement program of the Natural Resources Defense Council in Nashville, Tennessee. From 2014-15, Moreno conducted household-level interviews in Seattle and Oakland to understand the social, behavioral and cultural processes that affect how people, purchase, store, prepare and eventually waste food. In 2014, she developed a behavioral baseline for the food waste prevention campaign in Seattle wherein she developed and administered a survey to ascertain current food provisioning and food waste practices of residents.
