Next week kicks off Food Waste Prevention Week, a week-long online and in-person awareness campaign designed to inspire cultural changes that reduce food waste at home, work and in communities.
Up to 38% of all food produced in the United States goes uneaten, causing significant economic, environmental, and social repercussions. Ending food loss and waste requires purposeful action.
Why does reducing wasted food matter?
And cutting food waste in half by 2030 is one of the goals outlined in the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) MI Healthy Climate Plan and is one of the key recommendations for Michigan to achieve carbon neutrality.
If fact, reducing food waste is the top priority in EGLE’s Sustainable Food Management hierarchy.
The folks at Food Waste Prevention Week have planned 20 free food waste prevention webinars running from Monday, Sept. 28 through Saturday Oct. 3. Register today. Last year’s webinars are also available for viewing.
Want to hear directly from EGLE and EGLE partners on food waste diversion and utilization opportunities at the local level? Check out the EGLE’s stock of recorded webinars on food waste prevention:
