Help end world hunger by reducing your food waste

While 811 million people go to bed hungry each night, 1/3 of food is lost or wasted, amounting to a financial loss of about US$ 1 trillion annually. You can help fight hunger by wasting less food and turning your savings from that positive practice into lifesaving food for those who need it most through the United Nations World Food Programme. Together, we can #StopTheWaste and end hunger.

Together, we can end hunger.

Top 5 ways to cut down on food waste:

Don’t over buy. Keep track of what you’ve bought and used.

Check the use-by dates of fresh food when you buy it. These are the dates to take notice of, rather than the best-before dates.

Plan ahead.

Get to know your grocer.

Love your freezer.
