The researchers collected plate
waste data
among 1,030 students in four schools in an
urban, low - income school district both before (fall 2011) and after (fall 2012) the new standards went into effect.
Such specific conditions include
among others: limited availability of space and the high price of
urban land, proximity to large numbers of people (and thus a need for safe production methods), use of
urban resources (organic
waste and wastewater), and possibilities for direct producer - consumer contacts.
