The Stop Food Waste week, which will run from January 22–28, will highlight the issues of food waste, aiming to provide practical tips for us all to reduce waste and make the most of our food.
The EPA’s Stop Food Waste Programme is encouraging everyone to make the most of their food, and avoid throwing out up to €700 worth of food every year.
The theme of the campaign will focus on the main foods commonly thrown away, and how to make the most of them. Tips and advice on how to store and cook various food will be provided, along with a handy resource, the 'A-Z of Food'.
Some of the most common types of food we waste include meat and fish, dairy products, bread, and fruit and veg. The ‘A-Z of Food’ on the Stop Food Waste website provides ingredient specific tips to make the most of these common food items that often get thrown away.
Our handy guide will provide tips and advice on how to store and cook various food types to keep them fresher for longer and not waste them.
So, see http//stopfoodwaste.ie for further information, including details of screenings, or share your own tips on social media using the hashtag #stopfoodwaste.
