More TASTE less WASTE! In this week's Food Waste Matters episode, Kelly Johnson, owner and founder of Woodlane Orchard & Sphiker, shares her story of creating a business that purchases surplus and ‘seconds’ produce from local farmers, dehydrating it and creating soups, meals, snacks and garnishes. Listen in as Kelly talks about 🍐 how she is working with farmers to get her produce, specifically seeking out "imperfect" and previously owned items that would typically be thrown away. ⚜️ her 15 years of experience as a Scout L⚜️eader and how that led her to create delicious, nutritious, lightweight meals for hikers that can be prepared in a matter of minutes (sometimes seconds) and stored without refrigeration. ♻️ the idea of a circular economy system within the community, with a central hub overseeing the distribution of excess food to various businesses. Our Food Waste Matters podcast aims to shine a spotlight on this critical issue, stimulate discussions, and generate ideas on tackling food waste. Food Waste Matters is supported by End Food Waste Australia with a vision of an Australia with no food waste and a milestone of reaching the halfway point by 2030.

“Nearly 40% of all food grown annually in the US goes unsold or uneaten. These companies are getting salty about food waste. Brands such as Trashy, Renewal Mill, Climate Candy®, Upcycled Food Association, RIND Snacks, and Barnana, PBC are invested in producing products with the mission of upcycling." Upcycling products are made from food that would otherwise be trashed and then lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions. “An estimated 58% of the fugitive methane emissions from municipal solid waste landfills are from landfilled food waste.” We are proud to be a part of these successful brands dedicated to building a healthier planet.

Join us online on Thursday April 4, 4 PM PT/ 7 PM ET, for a Climate Action Party: Reducing Food Waste! Did you know wasted food alone accounts for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than the emissions of the aviation and shipping sectors combined? According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, 30% of food is wasted globally across the entire supply chain. This wasted food ends up in landfills where it decomposes and produces vast quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Food date labels—those notices that say “Best If Used By,” “Use By,” or “Sell By”—are a big part of the problem. They are unregulated, so companies decide their own food date labels. This lack of consistency leads to confusion among consumers, who then discard perfectly good food, contributing to landfill waste. The Food Date Label Act proposes to standardize food date labels. A standard food date label system doesn’t cost the consumer, doesn’t cost the company, and doesn’t cost the government. It is one of many solutions to our food waste problem. Hear from our panel of experts Lily Herd of ReFED, Tori Oto from Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic, Regina (Anderson) Harmon of Food Recovery Network, with guest moderator Jessica Craven, and get a clear view of the food waste problem, date labels, the solutions, and then take actions on the Climate Action Now app to advocate for effective public policy! About Our Action Parties Each Action Party has an environment-related topic and a featured guest who is an expert in that topic. We combine learning with action-taking in a highly interactive and engaging hour. The actions are prepared in advance to help participants take the most impactful action in the shortest period of time. Action parties are free and open to all who seek a more just and sustainable world, but we welcome donations to help us continue our mission of creating a just and liveable planet for all.

🥦🗑️🤔 Did you know that approximately 40% of food is going to waste? 🛒 In fact, it is estimated that around 931 million is wasted every year, and food service and retail are responsible for 26% and 13% of this total, respectively. 🚜 On the other hand it is estimated that 8.3% of all produced food is wasted at or around harvest and 7% during farm-stage post-harvest activities. 🏠 While individual consumer behaviour plays a role, we must look beyond household actions and focus on the stages of the supply chain where food waste and loss occur at scale. ♻️ Tackling food waste and loss along the supply chain is a collective effort that involves producers, retailers, consumers, and policymakers. By shifting our focus from individual consumer actions to systemic challenges, we can implement impactful solutions that address this pressing issue. 🤝 Collaboration, data sharing, technological innovation, and a rethinking of cosmetic standards can pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient food system. ✅ Reducing food waste and food loss must form part of strategies to achieve a more sustainable, fairer food system, where large-scale action is needed across the entire supply chain. The time for wasting is over! 🌎 As we work together, we have the power to create a chain reaction of positive change that not only reduces food waste but also contributes to food security, environmental #sustainability, and a healthier planet for future generations. 🤓 Read more about the key solutions for reducing food waste and food loss by increasing collaboration.

Food waste is a recognized problem in the restaurant industry, but the issue has seen heightened importance in the face of historic heat waves, droughts, and other extreme weather events that have impacted food supplies. For the restaurant industry, eliminating food waste isn't just an appeal towards sustainable food production, but a necessary survival strategy, as the Department of Agriculture estimates that U.S. restaurants lose $162 billion annually in food waste costs alone. One option that can help keep waste to a minimum is digital restaurant management systems, which calculate waste as theoretical usage vs. actual usage. From there, it can provide usable data to help restaurateurs take meaningful action. #RestaurantIndustry #FoodWaste #FoodTech #Sustainability

I recently read an insightful article in ScienceDaily highlighting the significant environmental impact of food waste in Europe. It's a global issue that calls for innovative solutions, and as consumers, we have the power to make a difference. One key area where we can contribute is by changing our perception of what constitutes 'perfect' food. Here’s how we can start: 1) Choose Imperfect Produce: Often, fruits and vegetables are discarded simply because they don't meet aesthetic standards. Let's choose these perfectly edible, 'imperfect' items and reduce waste. 2) Rethink Meat Selection: Meat doesn't have to be the brightest red to be fresh and nutritious. Understanding and accepting natural variations in meat can help reduce waste. 3) Spread Awareness: Share the importance of accepting less-than-perfect food items with your community. Education is a powerful tool in changing perceptions. 4) Support Retailers Who Sell Imperfect Foods: Many stores now offer 'ugly' produce. By purchasing these, we support a more sustainable food system. 5) Embrace Variety: Each piece of produce or meat is unique. Celebrating this diversity can lead to a more sustainable and less wasteful food culture. By adjusting our expectations and embracing imperfections in our food, we can significantly contribute to reducing food waste and its environmental impact. Let's lead the change towards a more sustainable future. #Sustainability #FoodWaste #ImperfectProduce #EcoFriendly #ConsumerImpact
