Just in: Ferjan Dubai's Initiative to Mitigate Community Food Waste: In an effort to address the escalating issue of food waste within local communities, Ferjan Dubai has launched a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reducing excess food disposal. The move comes as part of the organization's commitment to fostering sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. Ferjan Dubai, a prominent player in the food industry, has strategically designed a comprehensive program to tackle the problem at its roots. The initiative focuses on implementing efficient distribution channels, diverting surplus food to those in need, and creating awareness about responsible consumption among residents. The core strategy involves collaborating with local businesses, supermarkets, and restaurants to establish a streamlined process for redistributing surplus food. By forging partnerships with various stakeholders, Ferjan Dubai aims to ensure that excess food is channeled to community centers, shelters, and charitable organizations, thus providing a practical solution to food insecurity. Furthermore, the initiative incorporates educational components to raise awareness about the consequences of food waste and the importance of mindful consumption. Ferjan Dubai plans to engage with schools, community centers, and online platforms to disseminate information on smart shopping, proper storage, and the utilization of leftovers. This move aligns with global efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, which targets a significant reduction in food waste by 2030. By actively participating in this initiative, Ferjan Dubai not only contributes to a more sustainable future but also sets an example for other businesses in the region. The launch of this initiative comes at a crucial juncture when the world grapples with the environmental implications of food waste. Studies show that a substantial portion of global greenhouse gas emissions is attributed to decomposing food in landfills. Ferjan Dubai's proactive approach underscores the urgent need for collective action in curbing this environmental menace. As part of the initiative's rollout, Ferjan Dubai has invested in cutting-edge technology to monitor and manage food inventory efficiently. This ensures that the redistribution process is not only seamless but also adheres to stringent food safety standards. The announcement has been met with positive responses from both the public and environmental advocates. Many laud Ferjan Dubai for taking a leadership role in addressing a critical aspect of sustainability within the community. The initiative is poised to bring about a transformative change in the region's approach to food consumption and waste management.

🌍 New food system should curb food waste 🌱 Did you know that Dutch households waste around 2 billion kilos of food annually? This staggering amount affects food availability, strains the economy, and impacts our environment. A collaborative project led by Wageningen University & Research is addressing this challenge with a visionary new food system designed to curb waste and optimize resources. Through their project, Food Waste: From Excess to Enough (FETE), researchers shared promising interventions recently at the Waste-Free Week conference, including: 🔸 Encouraging flexible consumption: Advising consumers on smaller, more suitable packaging sizes to avoid excess purchases 🔸 Tools for food management: Helping households plan better with practical tools, like portion-measuring cups and fridge stickers to guide storage 🔸 "Surprise bags" from retailers: Offering discounted surplus food bags to reduce waste while encouraging consumers to try new items 🔸 Educational efforts: Raising awareness on best-before dates and ways to assess freshness—many foods last longer than packaging dates imply! Keynote speakers Christian Scheffler (HelloFresh) and Toine Timmermans (Together Against Food Waste) emphasized the benefits of pre-planned meal boxes, where ingredients are pre-measured, and shared the importance of collective action. The FETE project’s roadmap highlights a critical insight: people motivated by the moral impact of food waste (not just cost savings) waste less. This shows we’re ready for real change. By rethinking food access, purchasing, and consumption, we can build a system where food is valued and waste minimized. Let’s work toward a sustainable future where food ends up on plates, not in landfills. 🌍🥕 https://lnkd.in/eiGcNCHY #SustainableFuture #FoodWaste #Innovation #WageningenUR #ReduceReuseReimagine

WASTE BETTER! #food #PlanToSave #SchoolMeals #environment Food waste is one key contributor to the looming global food crisis and it mainly stems from the consumers... We waste because we are not aware or knowledgeable on how to save better. We also waste because our financial and social situation affirms a future meal... but why garbage out perfectly viable farmer's sweat? Here is a few ways on how to plan that next meal while guaranteeing the next: 🎯 Pre plan your meals and adhere to the plan! Having a layout on what will be cooked: quantities, portions and number of consumers ensures that whatever is prepped is well consumed. This technique works well for individuals, families/communities eating together because with a pre made plan, each consumer looks forward to, or can communicate their non-participation and preparations adjusted accordingly. 🎯 Get creative! It doesn't take a culinary arts degree to confer ability to transform leftovers into yet another delicious meal. Fresh vegetables, ground spices and seeking recommended cooking techniques, rampant on social media, are your friends! Not forgetting the "Small Variables" technique that involves having small portions of a variety of foods to keep consumers well indulged while simultaneously ensuring that all gets eaten. 🎯 A little Psychology please. Our brains have the ability to communicate how we prefer our meals in terms of time, taste, presentation, company, location etc. When all the boxes are checked to our preferences, we tend to eat better. Organizing meal time to suit preferences can therefore make us more effective eaters and minimize wasting food away. 🎯 Involve the Children. Children are picky eaters, with limited sense of wastage unless taught. Those caring for children can teach them about wasting food through employing some of the above recommendations, in addition to reducing distractions during meal time, portion control and healthy rewards for a clean plate. 🎯 Farm The Leftovers. Leftovers can be transformed to food for domestic animals or composted to make organic manure. Have separate bins for leftover and for inedible food parts, to use for a small household project. 🎯 Science It Out. Yup, food can be preserved for later days through freezing, pickling, fermentation and dessication. Where there is plenty, don't fight to finish up, save for later. ⚠️ Such processes require expert guidance to ensure that the food is still safe for human consumption. Seek professional guidance. Together, with a lot of deligence and mindfulness, we can salvage future meals, for everyone.

💚📢 North America & the Asia-Pacific regions are set to drastically cut down on food waste, with the #FoodWastePrevention industry expected set to soar from $11.6 billion to $21.6 billion by 2032. The call for effective solutions has never been louder. 📈 🌏 The World Bank reports that approximately 30% of all food produced annually is wasted, underscoring the critical need for advanced food waste solutions. As the Asia-Pacific region continues to lead by example, with a substantial market share and continued dominance expected, North America sees the fastest growth rate. These set a precedent for global action, where both developed and developing markets can learn and benefit from these initiatives. 🎖️At The PLEDGE on Food Waste, we're thrilled to see these developments as they align with our goals and shows growing demand for responsible dining options.

🌍 Increase in Food Waste in Italian Households: Findings from the 2024 Report by the Waste Watcher Observatory According to the new 2024 International Waste Watcher Report, presented this week in Rome, Italians are wasting nearly twice as much food as last year. This worrying trend highlights the need for both collective and individual action. The study, conducted as part of the #WASTEIT research project (Spoke 7 of OnFoods), reveals that household food waste accounts for between 40% and 50% of the total in Italy (Eurostat, 2021). 📊 The data is alarming: food waste in Italy has risen by 45.6%, with an average of 683.3 grams of food wasted per person each week, compared to 469.4 grams in August 2023. Among the most wasted foods are fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, salads, and tubers—key staples of the Mediterranean diet. As Prof. Andrea Segrè from the University of Bologna, Scientific Director of the Waste Watcher Observator , points out: "Despite the ongoing crisis, we continue to throw away perfectly good food. This is due to several factors, including the quality of the food purchased and poor meal planning." #FoodWaste #WasteWatcher2024 #Sustainability #Food #OnFoods #WASTEIT #WasteWatcherObservatory https://lnkd.in/dQkRFBqU
