Today is International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Reduction!

Food waste affects everyone, negatively impacting food security, the economy, and the planet.
So, we’re helping bring awareness to the food loss and reduction.

Agriculture producers work hard to ensure that there’s food on everyone’s plate. However, food loss can occur throughout the supply chain, after harvest and before it even gets to the grocery stores—this accounts for 13.2% of total global food lost. Then, there’s household, food services, and retail food waste, which accounts for 19%.

Reducing food waste in the supply chain can be achieved through different strategies such as adjustments in production and technological enhancements in post-harvest handling, treatment, storage, and distribution.

At home, you can reduce your own food waste—for instance, by composting old food! Do you know any other ways to reduce food waste? Comment your answer below!
