 The most likely reasons to waste food are poor meal planning and influencing customers to purchase food in bulk. There are just a few simple ways for Reducing Food Waste in Vancouver.

Municipal Steps to Reduce Food Waste

The City of Burnaby and Vancouver took steps to control the food wastage. They used the approach of educational campaigns for this purpose, they hired 502 groups and they divided them into 3 more groups. These groups provide awareness to the people about food wastage. Some of the steps they encourage people to follow are:

• Shop According to Your Needs                 

You must stop buying extra things to reduce food waste. This step is effortless and painless. When you advance to the market for food shopping, make sure that you don’t over-purchase the food items. It is better to go grocery shopping only when you are in need. Make sure that you plan your meals and make a list of all the ingredients that you need. Making a list is an easy thing but sticking to it is difficult. Make sure you don’t take more from the list which later results in wastage.

• Don’t Over Serve

Restaurants partly operate with the strategies of massive portions. But now it has shifted to our homes as well. You must not over serve the meals to your family, friends, or relatives that they can’t finish. Make an appropriate serving to the members at your dining table. To make it work, utilize small plates. Moreover, the children should be taught at a tender age that they should put as much food on their plates as they can eat. Refilling is better than wasting.

• Don’t Waste Leftovers

 If you ever find leftovers lying in the fridge, they are for you do not throw them into the trash. They can also be utilized in many other delicious dishes such as salads sandwiches and other variety of dishes that require filling in them. So, make sure to use them instead of wasting them.

• Peculiar with Fruits and Vegetables

Everyone must be as peculiar as can get with fruits and vegetables. If fruits remain in the fridge for a long time, they become slushy or semi-liquid. Rather than throwing them, you can make shakes and smoothies from them. Moreover, you can use them for the sake of your beauty treatments. Sag vegetables can be used to make soup. Wasting food is never an option.

• Use the FIFO Technique

FIFO is a financial term that means first in first out. Most businesses in the world use this technique to maintain their inventory. After doing shopping get benefited from FIFO. If the things which you bought the previous month are not finished yet, move them to the front of the fridge or store so that you can utilize them first!
