"As a chef, dietitian, and mom, food is a big part of my life, and when you test and create recipes for a living, you're bound to have overflowing fridges and freezers at all times. With the cost of food rising and my own passion for being kind to our beautiful planet, I have a few tricks up my sleeves for reducing my food waste at home, and they are easier than you think!"
"Food waste is a big issue, and a whopping 40-50% of food waste happens right at home. Food waste contributes to climate change, and food production requires water, land, and energy. Wasting food means that we are also wasting resources. Not only is it terrible for the environment, but it also represents your hard-earned money going down the drain or into the landfill. With this in mind, I'm sharing my favorite ways to fight food waste from the comfort of my own kitchen."
Household food waste accounts for 40-50% of total food waste. Food production consumes water, land, and energy, so wasted food wastes those resources and increases greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste also represents lost money and greater landfill burden. Practical strategies reduce household food waste, including deliberate meal planning, designating one day as a leftovers meal, maximizing refrigerator and freezer use, and using surplus ingredients creatively. Small, consistent changes to shopping, storage, and meal routines can cumulatively prevent substantial waste, save money, and support environmental stewardship.
