Viably's Sr. Director of Growth, Partnerships, and Marketing, Christy Hurlburt, delivered a keynote on localizing food waste processing at the Food Waste Solutions WNC Summit this week in Asheville, NC.
The Summit brought together composting operators, municipal planners, community organizations, and industry leaders to address food waste challenges across Western North Carolina, including the ongoing recovery work following Hurricane Helene. Panels covered composting trends, rescue and redistribution programs, consumer education, and how to better connect resources to communities in need.
The conversations happening at events like this one reflect where the organics industry is doing its most practical work. On the ground, in specific regions, with the real constraints that shape what recovery actually looks like.
Proud of Christy for contributing to that conversation and representing the work we care about.
