Food Waste Reduction

Food waste reduction refers to the efforts aimed at minimizing the amount of food that is produced but not eaten, which can occur at various stages including production, distribution, retail, and consumption. It involves strategies like better planning, proper storage, and educating consumers about expiration dates. Reducing food waste not only conserves resources like water and energy but also helps in lowering greenhouse gas emissions from decomposing food in landfills. By being mindful of our food choices and behaviors, we can contribute to a more sustainable food system and lessen the environmental impact of waste.
