Food waste has a solution, and it’s not very complicated. The important thing is to change consumption habits and organization, especially in households. Every small step we take together helps to make better use of natural resources.

Some practical actions include shopping and meal planning, making use of leftover food, using the freezer to preserve meals, buying in smaller quantities, and seeking better information on expiration dates and food storage. Planning your meals before shopping, creating a detailed list, and buying only what you need can prevent overbuying and waste. Repurposing leftovers into new dishes, freezing extra portions, and understanding the difference between “use by” and “best by” dates all contribute to reducing food waste at home. Better information and awareness empower us to make smarter choices and ensure that food is valued from purchase to plate.
