There are simple and easy ways to be able to help the reduction of food waste in your home that are easy to apply. Some ways to reduce food waste is to not buy food in bulk, but rather in smaller portions and instead going to the grocery every few days when food is needed rather than buying the bulk of food once a week. By putting the newer food behind older food that is still yet to be used. Canning, pickling, and drying food as well can help with the reduction of food waste. Picking produce that is deemed “ugly” as it does not look like the perfect fruit or vegetable is another way in which food waste can be reduced. Simply because a vegetable or fruit does not look aesthetically pleasing does not mean it has any less nutrients or vitamins than its counterparts that are aesthetically pleasing. Such small tactics can help in the reduction of food waste.
