International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW) – Workshop recipe-free cooking with food scraps
🗓️ Sept. 29 ✋ Stop Food Waste! For People and Planet – International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW). Let’s unite to raise awareness of this global crisis and make small but significant changes in how we care for our food. Food waste is a problem we can solve together!
📊Did you know that 33% of all food produced globally is lost or wasted yearly? And just a quarter of the food wasted globally could be used to feed the 795 million undernourished people in the world. But food waste is not only a moral issue, it’s a key contributor to climate change too. Wasting food is a waste of energy to grow, harvest, process, and cook, and food waste in landfills can cause methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
📢 The lack of knowledge about food is one of the reasons for household food waste. Why do food loss and waste matter? Take the quiz created by UN Environment Programme 👉stopfoodlosswaste.org/international-day/take-quiz
➡️ The International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW) is marked for the third time on 29 September, the observance calls on everyone to work together to cut food loss and waste to mitigate climate change and support improved food security and nutrition.

*You can keep your food waste to a minimum with a few simple changes, from storing food correctly to using up your leftovers, using every edible part of fruits and veggies, and planning meals.
*Only buy the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables you need to use. Most of them can be frozen as single ingredients.
*Peelings from potatoes and citrus, fruit and vegetable cores, and stems can be used for compost.
