This year’s World Food Day theme, “Right to foods for a better life and a better future,” closely aligns with our organizational vision of “Full plates, full lives.” 🌍 World Food Day serves as an important reminder that access to food is a basic human right, and we all have a role in ensuring the equitable distribution of food resources globally. A significant step we can all take is to reduce food waste. Did you know that the average American wastes nearly 1 pound of food each day, totaling around 325 million pounds nationwide? In honor of World Food Day, we invite you to read this insightful article from Recycle Track Systems on food waste: https://lnkd.in/eKX5kyxE Let’s work together to fill plates and fill lives! 💚 #WorldFoodDay #FoodWasteReduction #EndHunger

We’re proud to announce that we’re supporting Love Food Hate Waste’s - Food Waste Action Week campaign. This year, the UK’s biggest annual food waste reduction campaign is encouraging you to, “Choose What You’ll Use” by buying your fruit and vegetables loose instead of packaged. Research from Love Food Hate Waste has shown that we could reduce food waste by 60,000 tonnes just by buying loose fruit and veg! Sometimes we are in the mood for a huge potato, and sometimes we just need one carrot for our spag bol. Why let the rest go to waste? Choose loose and you don’t have to.

🌱 How We Can Turn the Tables on Food Waste 🌱 I just watched Dana Gunders' TED Talk on food waste. It's so relatable and she explains how pressing the issue of food waste truly is. At Knead Technologies, we’re on a mission to address this very challenge, and Dana's insights really hit home. Did you know that nearly 40% of the food globally goes to waste? This is staggering and it's not just about the food itself—it's about the resources, labor, and love that go into producing it. Dana’s talk is a powerful reminder that small changes in how we approach food can make a huge difference. From better planning and storage at home to supporting initiatives that rescue and redistribute food, each step we take brings us closer to reducing waste and ensuring that more food reaches those in need. Check out the talk and start making small changes today. Together, we can make a big impact! 🍽️ 💪🏽 #FoodWaste #Sustainability #KneadTech #FoodRescue #TEDTalk (https://lnkd.in/gkszbXDK)

🌍 On World Food Day, it's time to shine a spotlight on how businesses can make a real impact by tackling food waste. 🍽️ By conducting a comprehensive Food Waste Audit, Great Forest helped this restaurant chain understand how much of the material they were treating as food waste actually consisted of high quality surplus food. 🎯 The result? The restaurant learned it could put thousands of pounds of food back on the table each day to help communities in need. This would mean less food waste, lower waste costs, and a way to do good at the same time! 🔑 Key takeaway: With the right strategies, you can transform food waste reduction into meaningful action.

The amount of food wasted in the United States is pretty shocking; by some reports it is as much as 40 percent. This is despite that fact that there are many simple ways to reduce food waste. This week's Local Food Forum entry from University of Illinois Extension and UI Health presents several tips to help you waste less food. I'd love it if this can be a conversation starter — please submit your own thoughts and actions (repurposing food scraps? composting? something else?) on reducing food waste.

Can the words we use assist in changing our mindset? How do you feel when we use words like "rotting" "waste" "problem" ? They are all negative words that conjure unsightly imagery. Consider changing the words we use and adjust the conversation from a negative, to one we can get behind to make a positive difference. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing positive about food waste, but if part of the required change is changing our words, then let's start there. #FoodWaste #Sustainability #SurplusFood #EnvironmentalImpact #DigiTally #FoodServiceIndustry #EthicalResponsibility #CostSavings
