"This Food Waste Prevention Week 2024 (1-7 April), join the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) and its partners, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Ciclomanias for two webinars on how to drive local action and raise awareness about why reducing food waste is so important! Learn about the CEC’s work on food loss and waste and discover our Food Matters Action Kit, as well as other tools and materials that can inspire everyone to make an impact at school, at home and in their communities!" https://ow.ly/Vwx850R5aM0

What a successful pre-screening for this labour of love! Thanks to Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC) and FoodMesh for helping us host a pre-screening event with sustainability advocates from many non profits, food advocacy groups and members of the community passionate about food loss/waste prevention! The audience’s feedback will be helpful in fine tuning the final touches on this feature documentary FOOD SYNERGY Movie, the first time the whole food supply chain is analyzed in one documentary. Then the official premiere so stay tuned to find out more! Follow us to find out more about the food heroes we feature who are proving that often small, concrete and powerful daily actions can and are helping to address the climate crisis we are in! #foodmesh #spec #FoodWaste #SustainabilityLifestyle #ShopLocalCanada #FoodRescue #FoodRescueHero #VancouverFood #SustainableCanada #SustainabilityDocumentary #FoodSynergyMovie #IndieDocumentary #SustainableFuture #SaveFood #foodwasteprevention #foodlossprevention #foodwasteprevention #sustainability #sustainablefood #foodsystems

If people knew how much food they threw away each week, would they change their food-wasting ways? That's a question scientists explore in the 2023 State of Food Waste in America report. The research goal was to understand why and how households waste food, and what would motivate them to prevent food waste. In today's podcast, we'll talk with MITRE scientists Laura Leets and Grace Mika, members of a team who developed and launched the MITRE Food Waste Tracker app. This is a first of its kind app for households to log information about discarded food and learn ways to save money by reducing food waste. The Food Waste in America study team includes the Gallup Survey Company, researchers from the Ohio State University, the Harvard Law and Policy Clinic, ReFED, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the World Wildlife Fund. Hosted by Norbert Wilson.

Why it is so important to take care of nature: Approximately 80% of the world's food supply is directly dependent on pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds. These pollinators play a crucial role in fertilizing plants, including many of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts that make up a significant portion of our diets. Without them, our global food security would be severely threatened. This fact underscores the essential role that nature and its diverse ecosystems play in sustaining our food production and, by extension, our human survival. #EnvironmentalSustainability #PollinatorFacts #BiodiversityConservation #FoodSecurity #EcosystemProtection #SustainableAgriculture #GlobalFoodSupply #WildlifePreservation #ConservationEfforts #NatureEducation #EcoSystemServices #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalImpact #ClimateChange #LinkedInEnvironment #SustainableSolutions #GreenInitiatives #NatureConservation #EcoAwareness #EcosystemHealth

Make preventing food waste your personal act of conservation this holiday season. 🟢Plan meals and avoid overbuying. 🟢Get creative and transform leftovers into new dishes. 🟢Compost food scraps if possible. Every action counts towards #StopFoodLossWaste.

As all food producers look to minimise their CO2e, it's important to recognise the environmentally friendly nature of pelagic fishing, which stands out as a food production system with a light carbon footprint. Unlike other farming and meat production methods, pelagic fishing is highly efficient and sustainable as it doesn't require artificial feeding or scarce water supplies. At North Atlantic, we are proud to contribute to sustainable food production by utilising the abundant and seasonally available pelagic fish stocks. Allowing us to take an environmentally conscious approach to meeting global food security. #SustainableSeafood #FoodProduction #GlobalFoodSecurity

Let's join efforts to maximize the use of surplus food! Converting leftover food into animal feed not only reduces waste but also minimizes environmental harm. Together, we can make a significant impact on sustainability. #ReduceWaste #EnvironmentalResponsibility #FAOPakistan #FAO

When people think of diverting #foodwaste, one of the first things that often comes to mind is food rescue. Also known as food recovery, food rescue is the practice of collecting fresh, edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other food establishments and distributing it to local social service agencies. Although composting generally is considered once food is no longer edible, composting and food rescue ultimately share the same goal: diverting food waste from landfills and reducing harmful emissions. Featuring Stephanie Katsaros from Bright Beat and Randy Rosens from FoodrescueDude , this webinar will explore how #composters and food rescue organizations can collaborate to reduce food waste. Learn about the role of composters and haulers in redirecting edible food and discover strategies to connect composting efforts with food rescue operations. https://lnkd.in/eE4qFyAv

Celebrate World Bee Day with us! Bees and other pollinators face growing threats from human activities, such as endangered ecosystems and unstable food security. Join us in raising awareness and taking action to protect them! Here's how you can play a part: plant native flowers, support local honey farmers, choose sustainable products, avoid harmful pesticides, provide water for bees, and raise awareness in our communities. Learn more about World Bee Day and how you can get involved, here: https://lnkd.in/gESry3S
