Why Reducing Food Waste Matters
We all waste food sometimes, but the good news is that most of us want to change. According to recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) research, 81% of people are willing to take small steps to reduce food waste.
A quarter of all food produced globally is wasted each year. This not only costs households money but also contributes to 8-10% of greenhouse gas emissions.
How You Can Make a Difference
No matter how many people you cook for, you can make small changes in how you plan, shop, store, and cook food. These steps can help you save time, money, and the planet.
Some easy changes include:
- Check your fridge and cupboards before shopping.
- Plan meals to use up leftovers.
- Make a shopping list to avoid unnecessary purchases.
- Use your freezer to store extra food.
Each small change adds up. On average, households waste €700 worth of food each year. Reducing food waste means saving money.
