November 22, 2024

Approximately one-third of the food produced in the United States is never eaten, creating a domino effect of environmental, financial, and social impacts. Indeed, throwing away food increases methane emissions, elevates home budgets, and squanders resources in food production networks. Find out about its effects and how to turn the tide by effectively managing food waste in your home in this six-page bulletin. A handy food inventory and tip sheet keeps you on track as you learn about kitchen audits and what and what not to compost, among many other useful strategies.
