Managing food waste sustainably

“Food production and food wastage take up plenty of resources and lead to carbon emissions. So it is important that we take a closer look at how we manage food wastage at individual and community levels.”

Reduce food wastage at events

“Event organisers catering for meals should offer guests an option to decline food in their RSVP form. This can help organisers make more accurate estimates when ordering food, and prevent food wastage. Event organisers could also work out a system for people to bring home leftover food, without compromising on food safety, of course.”

Track your consumption habits

“On our own, we can do our part to reduce food waste by ordering only what we can finish eating. At the same time, we can make it a habit to bring our own containers and pack our leftovers home. I also don’t throw out food if they still look and taste edible.”
