Food is a necessary part of our lives, yet 40 percent is wasted at various points in the supply chain, with much of this happening in our own kitchens.
A recent waste study in Minneapolis showed that most of the discarded food consists of leftovers or unspoiled food that could’ve been eaten. This waste not only impacts our environment but also our wallets, with the average family of four losing over $2,500 annually on food that ends up in the trash.
To combat this issue, participate in the Stop Food Waste Challenge, where you’ll gain valuable insights into smarter purchasing and consumption habits.
This month-long challenge runs throughout August and aims to heighten your awareness of food waste, inspire actionable changes within your household, and connect you with valuable resources for ongoing support.
