As a food enthusiast, she knows how food can be enjoyed and that healthful eating is pleasurable — all on the same fork.
Description: Home is where the waste is. Forty four percent of food waste occurs at home. It stems from a variety of reasons: we bought food for a specific recipe, we ate out rather than cooked, we forgot we had it, or can’t think of a way to use it — or repurpose it. Regardless of why, the loss in dollars and impact on the environment adds up. From purchase to cooking, this session will provide ideas to implement at home, share with the media, in retail, and with community clients to be part of the solution to this global concern.
Three learning objectives:
- list how food waste is generated throughout the food chain and the impact on the environment,
- provide shopping, storage, and preparation tips for people to safely and efficiently use more of food purchased,
- deliver consumer-friendly messages about reducing wasted food.
