Model Restaurant: The Farm on Adderley

The Farm on Adderley is in my neighborhood of Kensington, Brooklyn.  I love going to this place because their food is so yummy and I really like that they use fresh local ingredients.  This is also a restaurant that composts their food waste and has their used cooking oil picked up and reused a fuel.  How cool is that?

My project consists of me using the Lea Restaurant in the Kensington, Brooklyn neighborhood to not only model after the Farm on Adderley but to expand and continuously change as it perfects the process of reducing food waste.

Food Waste/Sustainability

This semester my focus will be writing a paper about food waste and sustainability.  Specifically I will be talking about new ways restaurants in Kensington, Brooklyn can incorporate these practices.  There is one restaurant in my neighborhood that is already sustainable so I will use them as a guide for other restaurants in the area.

I still have a lot of research to do and it is possible my findings will lead me in another direction.  However, I am excited to see where I end up once my paper is completed.

I hope you will come along for another ride with me this semester.
