A recent study published by Dalhousie University found that food waste at home seems to have increased since COVID-19. Although these figures may seem overwhelming, you can help reduce this harmful practice by following these 5 tips - because every little bit counts. 1. Shop Smart Make a point to use up all the food you purchased before buying more groceries. ... 2. Store Food Correctly Storing fruits and vegetables improperly can lead to premature ripening, and eventually, rotten produce. 3. Learn to Preserve Pickling, drying, canning, freezing and fermenting are all methods you can use to make food last longer, thus reducing waste. 4. Avoid Clutter While having a well-stocked fridge can be a good thing, an overly filled fridge can be bad when it comes to food waste. 5. Keep Track of What you Throw Away Managing a log of what you waste can prevent you from doing the same in the future. https://www.foodincanada.com//canadians-may-be-wasting-13/
