Friday is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. Globally, around 13% of food produced is lost between harvest and retail, while another 17% is wasted at the retail & consumer levels. Reducing food loss and waste is more than just saving meals — it's key to creating a more sustainable planet. All of us can do our part to #StopFoodLossWaste: 🍽️ Meal planning: create a shopping list - only buy what's necessary. 🍚 Perfect-sized portions: measure your food to avoid waste. 🍎 Stay fresh: proper storage is key to longer-lasting food. 🍝 Leftovers: get creative and transform extra food into new dishes. ♻️ Eco Tip: compost food scraps. 👉 Scroll through for more tips and share your ideas in the comments below! 📸: fao/unep
