The other #greenhousegas. How #methane from #foodwaste contributes to #globalwarming and why small efforts to stop it can make a big difference. Over time, food is buried under other #waste and #decomposes in #anaerobic conditions (without access to oxygen), creating a favorable environment for #bacteria that produce #methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times stronger than #carbondioxide over a 100-year period. https://www.reuters.com/graphics/FOOD-WASTE/METHANE/gdpzwqwqovw/

Wie ist eure Meinung zu "geretteten" Lebensmitteln bei toogoodtogo, etepetete und co? Sinnvoll oder werden hier einfach zusätzliche Einnahmen generiert mit Ausschuss? "Retten" wir Essen oder treibt uns doch die Lust am Schnäppchen oder das klamme Budget an, solche Angebote zu nutzen? Fehlen durch diesen Markt Anreize, Verschwendung zu verhindern? Fehlen die so vermarkteten Lebensmittel den Tafeln? Oder ist es einfach eine gute Sache? #LebensmittelRetten #foodwaste

@br00t4c Reducing #FoodWaste includes not buying stuff that you'll only use in one recipe because that jar of pickled mustard seeds *will not eat itself*. #voiceofexperience re: capers. Mea culpa.

Among the many resources for finding recipes that are less likely to leave you with a fridge/cupboard full of 'won't use *that *again:

Love this story about a Toronto man who created an app that makes it easier for restaurants and catering companies to reduce food waste by donating it to shelters and charities.

According to the article, so far his company has diverted approximately 15,000 kilograms of food waste — enough to feed 25,000 people.

I hope this company or something similar starts operating in more cities across North America!

RT Javier 🇪🇸 🇪🇺
The 2020 #foodwaste data @Food_EU shows that households👨‍👩‍👧‍👦are responsible for 53% of it. This is why the involvement of #retailers is key as they understand well consumer habits & buying behaviour putting them in the best position to support consumers in their #waste reduction🚮

🇬🇧|The @EU_Commission calls for reducing #foodwaste, because of global hunger . In the #EU, waste should fall by 30% by 2030. #Hunger arises mainly from overpopulation &amp; geopolitical exploitation. Brussels apparently ignores that. #ID https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2023-07/eu-kommission-lebensmittel-verschwendung-vermeidung-regeln
