What you can do

There are many things you can do to reduce your household food waste. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Buy funny-looking produce: Wonky carrots are still delicious
• Buy directly from producers: They are less likely to discard imperfect looking produce and tend to bring to the market only what they will sell
• Eat leftovers: Save money on lunch!
• Pickle: Both fruits and vegetables can be preserved through an easy pickling process
• Preserve produce: Turn wilting vegetables into soups, wilting fruits into juice…
• Discover recipes for using up leftovers: That risotto can become arancini, those leftover egg whites can be added to an omelet, and those leftover miscellaneous vegetables: a hearty soup…
• Some food waste is unavoidable: so why not set up a compost bin for fruit and vegetable peelings?
