Food waste is a costly problem, impacting our finances and the planet. Globally, nearly one-fifth of all food produced is wasted annually
. This collective issue requires collective solutions from everyone.Everyday actions matter:
- For households: Plan meals and shop with a list to avoid overbuying. Properly store food and use leftovers creatively in new meals.
- For businesses: Optimize portions and manage inventory better to prevent surplus.
- For everyone: Learn the difference between 'best before' and 'use-by' dates to stop discarding edible food.
By embracing these small changes, we can save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ensure more food goes to those who need it. Our shared efforts can build a more sustainable food system for all.
