Enthusiastic and dynamic entrepreneur with professional legal background. Decisive leader with proven track record in business start-up, strategic development and growth
Managing Director at ECBPI/BBIA
I write a lot in my work, articles, blogs, newsletters. In September 2020 I published my first book, Everything is Connected, in which I draw on 30 years of environmental activist experience to explain, in simple language, why humanity is destroying our environment and what we must now do to stop the ecological breakdown. It will help the non experts understand what we experts on Linkedin talk about between ourselves. You can buy the book here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GGCSHHL
In my day job I push for changes to legislation to promote environmentally beneficial solutions to our energy and materials challenges. This requires both economic and political analysis of existing situations to find the mechanisms that can force change more quickly.
The way I work is informed by a versatile and varied background of work. This has included Greenpeace, local and national Government agencies, working in Europe, internationally and in the UK both for private and public sectors.
My passion is to build relationships, develop collaborative associations and partnerships that collectively make a real difference. I want to leave a positive legacy, improve our environment, help and support people who have the same ambitions.
USDA Food Loss and Waste Liaison, Washington
As of March 2020, I am the USDA Food Loss and Waste Liaison in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Economist. Prior to this position, I worked either directly or indirectly for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service (USDA/ERS) since 1990. Prior to moving into management in April 2013 as the Branch Chief in the Diet, Safety, and Health Economics (DSHE) branch in the Food Economics Division (FED), I took on critical responsibilities as an Agricultural Economist that required leadership, oversight, and accountability in three primary research areas: food safety, food consumption, and food loss and waste. My food safety research included estimating the costs of foodborne illness, analyzing the legal incentives for firms to produce safer food, and exploring international trade and food safety issues. I have conducted research on food loss in the United States for almost two decades and have published estimates of the amount and value of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States. My first publication on food loss and waste was a 2002 Report to Congress on "Plate Waste in School Nutrition Programs" I was on detail at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 5 months in FY20 as a Senior Policy Analyst in the Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division.
Executive Director at ReFED
Deemed "the woman who helped start the waste-free movement" by Consumer Reports, Dana helps train, inspire, and strategize around food waste reduction via her business Next Course (www.nextcourse.co). Previously, she founded NRDC's initiative to reduce food waste, authored Waste Free Kitchen Handbook, has testified in Congress, been an expert witness, and is behind the Save the Food campaign, a national media campaign that has generated over $70M in donated media to date. Her work on food waste has been featured by John Oliver, CNN, NPR, NBC, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Real Simple, Cooking Light, Dr. Oz, Consumer Reports, and hundreds of other outlets.
In 2012, Dana authored a landmark report “Wasted: How America is Losing Up to 40% of Its Food from Farm to Fork to Landfill” that sparked a national dialogue about reducing food waste. From that, she went on to found and lead the Natural Resource Defense Council's work on reducing food waste until early 2018, when she started Next Course. When not worrying about it professionally, Dana spends far too much time trying to get her small children to throw less food on the floor.
