Plan Ahead To Reduce Food Waste
SHARE

Food waste is a significant issue in the United States, with nearly 40% of food being wasted from farm to landfill. This is a troubling statistic, especially when one in eight Americans is food insecure. While some waste occurs at the production and distribution levels, a significant amount also happens in our own kitchens. By implementing better planning strategies, we can reduce food waste and make a positive impact on both our budgets and the environment.

One key step in reducing food waste is to plan before shopping. Before heading to the grocery store, take inventory of what you already have in your fridge and cupboards. Create a meal plan based on these items and only purchase what you need. Shopping in the bulk aisles can help reduce packaging waste and allow you to buy precise quantities. Additionally, be mindful of the shelf life of different produce items and make a plan to use highly perishable items right away.

Organizing your fridge can also help prevent food waste. Set up an “eat now” shelf for perishable items and keep them within clear sight. Adjust the humidity settings in your produce drawers to ensure optimal storage conditions. Utilize the freezer to preserve foods that are at risk of spoiling, such as ripe bananas or leftover soup.

Supporting your local farmers market is another way to reduce food waste. Fresh produce from farmers markets tends to have a longer shelf life since it has not traveled long distances. When hosting a dinner party, use tools like Save The Food’s guest-imator to calculate the right amount of food needed and plan for leftovers. Consider sending guests home with leftovers to prevent food waste.

By implementing these strategies, we can all play a role in reducing food waste and supporting a more sustainable food system. Making small changes in our shopping, storage, and meal planning habits can have a significant impact on both our wallets and the planet. Let’s all work together to minimize food waste and ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food.
