Dump Dining

This is a self-initiated food waste case study which manifested during a 2-day workshop led by Extrapolation Factory for a group of MFA Design students at CCA. Over the course of the workshop, ideas about what San Francisco could do to reduce waste inspired how the local government might organize and facilitate a system for repackaging and distributing leftover and expired foods.

This case study was presented at the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, CA, 2017
