Get the Goods, Not the Garbage - Waste Reduction Education for Limited Resource Families

Abstract

Get the Goods was developed to be incorporated into nutrition education programs, specifically the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) of the Cooperative Extension System. In EFNEP, low income families have the opportunity to learn about nutrition and food resource management in one-on-one and small group settings. Paraprofessional teaching assistants assess the needs of learners and develop and deliver lessons based on these needs.
