Welcome to our blog on reducing food waste and diverting food and scraps to beneficial uses. We are passionate about finding solutions to the problem of food waste, which is not only an environmental issue but also a moral and social issue.

Why is reducing food waste important?
Reducing food waste is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to conserve natural resources such as water, land, and energy that go into producing food. Secondly, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. When food waste goes to landfills, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Finally, reducing food waste can help alleviate hunger and poverty by making food more available to those who need it.
