Your inboxes and social media feeds are undoubtedly flooded with messages from incredible nonprofits working to make the world a better place. I’ve got one more for you! As you consider which organizations to support, I hope you’ll include ReFED on your list this year. In case ReFED is new to you – we’re leading the charge to reduce food waste in the United States. We work at the systems level, which means your donation (of any size!) will help address the root causes of food waste. Having spent much of my life with farmers and ranchers, I know what it takes to produce healthy, nutritious food. And when I see it going to waste, it breaks my heart. Especially when I realize that there are somewhere between 35 and 40 million hungry people in this country. Our food system is broken and it takes all of us realizing that to make the difference we must. Click here to celebrate Giving Tuesday with a gift to ReFED - https://lnkd.in/g7MmN8rP Thank you for supporting our work! refed.org Food Waste Solutions - Reduce Food Waste, Food Recycling & Recovery ReFED identifies comprehensive food waste recycling solutions for businesses of all sizes in the United States. We are committed to reducing U.S. food waste.

Food waste is out, sustainability is in! Recent studies by @ReFED show that food waste in California is on the decline, with consumers and businesses wasting 10% less food than 2016. This slow but steady victory shows that reducing food waste is worth the effort, as this also decreases the amount of water being wasted, CO2 being emitted, and money being thrown away. Keep up the good work California! #foodforward #foodwaste #zerowaste #sustainability #community #volunteer #donate #nonprofit #fundraising #communityengagement #foodjustice #dogood #makeadifference #foodrecovery #donation #instagood #bethechange #kindness #joyfulness #giving #foodinsecurity #produce #communityfirst #helpothers #losangeles #california

@tracydabul advocates for reducing food waste by encouraging producers to find innovative ways to repurpose their by-products. She emphasizes that waste, which she prefers to term “excesses,” is a natural part of production, but what matters is how these excesses are managed to minimize food waste. Examples of successful waste reduction include Leky Mills partnership with nonprofit organizations like Foodclique. Additionally, she underscores the significance of educating farmers and fostering collaboration among all sectors in the effort to combat food waste and achieve food security. #foodcliquesupport #sdg2030 #zerohunger #worldfoodday #FoodCliqueSupportinitiative #hungerheroes #endinghunger #foodsystem #foodsystems #charity #donation #giftsthatkeepongiving

A summary of my two cents on the importance of Public-private collaboration at the just concluded symposium organised by FoodClique Support Initiative for world food day. My key focus was on waste management and how PPP can help in minimizing and hopefully eradicating waste totally. Nigeria is by far the world’s largest producer of yams, accounting for over 70–76 percent of the world production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization report, in 1985, Nigeria produced 18.3 million tonnes of yam from 1.5 million hectares, representing 73.8 percent of total yam production in Africa. According to 2008 figures, yam production in Nigeria has nearly doubled since 1985, with Nigeria producing 35.017 million metric tonnes with value equivalent of US$5.654 billion. However, a lot of these yam tubers go to waste due to Lack of finance, inadequate farm inputs, storage facilities and high cost of labour. There is so much we at Leky Mills can do but with strategic partnership with the public sector, a lot can be achieved to curb this waste and achieve food security. #TracyDabs #lekymills #lekyyam #saleswoman

The main goal of our ReS-Food project is to reduce surplus food waste in the HO.RE.CA. sector 🏨 ☕ 🍽, but it is also important to raise awareness of the general public on how to cut the amount of wasted food at the households. 🏘 🏘 🏘 A food waste diary helps to keep track of how much and what kind of food waste is generated. A short one-week measurement can help to find out what food is thrown away most often at home and why, for example: we have bought a lot, cooked a lot or forgotten it in the fridge. There are also easy to use online free tools that you can use for this purpose, such as this one 👉 👉👉 https://lnkd.in/gHRnf-2N ator/ Give it a try! 🤞🤞🤞 #erasmusplus #foodrescue #sustainability #EUprojects #charity #horeca #hospitality

Sometimes, we have a surplus of delicious raspberries that haven't found their way to the market. Our commitment to sustainability and reducing food waste drives us to handle this situation responsibly. Instead of letting these raspberries go to waste, we've developed a strategic approach. 1-We prioritize donating any excess to local food banks and charities to support our community 2-We explore innovative preservation techniques to extend their shelf life or creating value-added products. 3-We've established partnerships with local businesses to ensure that any remaining unsold raspberries are repurposed into other products. This not only reduces waste but also opens up new revenue streams. Our commitment to responsible stewardship doesn't just stop at the sale; it extends to every raspberry we produce, ensuring they serve a purpose and contribute to a more sustainable future. #zerowaste #raspberrypuree #lebaneseberries #mptitsfruits #localbusiness #womenempowerment #sustainability

Did you know that more than one-quarter of food produced is wasted globally each year? This has major social, environmental and economic consequences. It’s common for delegate numbers to fluctuate in the lead-up to an event and estimating food quantities can be tricky. At The CCD, we ensure that regular communication between clients and the hospitality manager about likely numbers can allow for adjustments in catering requirements. This helps to avoid producing unnecessary food and, in turn, reducing food waste. Other initiatives, such as donating food to local schools or charities are creative ways to manage waste after an event. Today, on Stop Food Waste Day, we want to highlight some tips and tricks you can easily implement in to your daily life to make small but significant changes in how we care for our food.

🥗 Donating excess food is a great way to reduce food waste and help those in need 🍽️ Instead of letting food go to waste, consider sharing it with local food banks, shelters, or community organizations. Not only does this help reduce food waste, but it also provides much-needed nourishment to those who may be struggling to put food on the table. 🙌 Next time you find yourself with more food than you can eat, think about donating it to those in need. Whether it's canned goods, fresh produce, or packaged snacks, every little bit helps. Let's work together to make sure no one goes hungry while also doing our part to reduce food waste. 💚 So let's spread the love and share our excess food with those who could use a helping hand. Together, we can make a difference in our communities and create a more sustainable future. 🌍💕 #LeftoverMagic #GetCreative #DonateFood #ReduceFoodWaste #SavvyShopper #GoGreen #ReduceFoodWaste #MealPlanning #GroceryShoppingTips #FoodStorageTips #circulareconomy #tadweeracorp #farraza #wastetowealth #EmpoweringCommunities #sustainablesolutions #CommunityEmpowerment #InnovativeSolutions #InnovationForGood #RecycleRevolution #recycle #plasticfree
