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.
