Student Posters

Clemson students were asked to submit posters that report the results of original research based on accepted scientific practices, case studies and literature reviews dealing with food waste and sustainability through the entire food value chain.

Posters will be displayed during the Welcome Reception on Monday, September 18 and students will be present to answer any questions.
