Did you know that there is a difference between food loss and food waste? Food loss occurs at the production, post-harvest, and processing stages such as on the farm or in processing facilities. On the other hand, food waste occurs in our kitchens and at the retail level. Therefore, it is up to us to reduce food waste by being mindful of what we buy and how much we throw away. By doing so, we can contribute to the reduction of food waste and make a positive impact on our environment.

Why food waste? Food is the No.1 item Americans throw away. Each year up to 40 percent of the nation’s food supply is never consumed – an annual loss of $218 billion. Wasted food also wastes resources. Any labor, energy, water, land and other resources used to produce, package and move food from the farm to our plates are lost. Don't Waste Food SC is a collaborative outreach campaign that brings together ambassadors from the public and private sectors dedicated to sharing knowledge, coordinating resources and working together to reduce food waste in South Carolina. #foodwaste #winthrop #winthropuniversity #dontwastefood

Today, we orchestrated an awareness campaign aimed at fostering food waste reduction within our employees' restaurant. Recognising the substantial environmental, social, and economic repercussions of food waste, this initiative involved a straightforward and cost-effective educational campaign. The primary objective was to promote awareness regarding minimising plate waste and preventing the unnecessary disposal of food. As a result of this effort, each employee concluded their meals today with a clean plate, contributing to the reduction of waste in our staff restaurant. #foodwaste #awareness #sustainability #reducefoodwaste #zerowaste

🌍 On World Food Day, it's time to shine a spotlight on how businesses can make a real impact by tackling food waste. 🍽️ By conducting a comprehensive Food Waste Audit, Great Forest helped this restaurant chain understand how much of the material they were treating as food waste actually consisted of high quality surplus food. 🎯 The result? The restaurant learned it could put thousands of pounds of food back on the table each day to help communities in need. This would mean less food waste, lower waste costs, and a way to do good at the same time! 🔑 Key takeaway: With the right strategies, you can transform food waste reduction into meaningful action.
