Think, Eat, Save Campaign
With a recent study showing that about one third of food produced globally gets lost or wasted, the UN Environment Program and the Food and Agriculture Organisation have just launched the Think, Eat, Save campaign to help reduce food wastage. It aims to provide a united global vision for tackling the problem, along with a new information sharing portal to support the many existing initiatives. Far from just calling on governments and other international organisations to take action, the information portal also provides tips and tricks for consumers, including a very handy top ten tips to reduce your ‘foodprint’ as well as your food bill. And if you don’t want to read through pages of fact sheets, the website also has a multimedia page with a range of videos providing helpful hints on food recycling, meal planning and lots more!
hello beautiful people! I work in a small organic grocery store and we absolutely rock at reducing food wastage. Along with using imperfect fruit and vegetables from our fresh section to create 100% certified organic and vegetarian salads, wraps, sushi, raw energy snacks, muffins…. the list goes on! we give customers 100% organic chook scraps and whatever imperfect brilliance is left I snavel up and come home to my kitchen, dehydrator and vitamix and BAM even more wonderful, healthy food. all scraps are composted into beautiful organic goodness to put back into our soil to grow some more fantastic produce. full circle!
LOVE FOOD!
This is definitely worth watching. It changed my life.

I wonder if the Food and Agriculture Program advocates dumpster diving?
