On May 12, 2021 As part of the project “Give your things a second life”, workshops with a dietitian were held. During the workshops, the participants tried to answer the following questions:
– how not to waste food?
– how to cook in the spirit of less waste?
– how to make something good out of the food that is left, i.e. culinary zero waste?
– why do we waste so much food?
Through play and activating pictorial forms, the participants learned about the path that food travels from the stage of cultivation, through transport, shop, home, and finally a landfill. They also learned ways to avoid wasting food.
We hope that the two-hour workshop inspired the participants to introduce the principles of not wasting food in their home. Moreover, they made us realize that the food choices we make and the knowledge of the basics of healthy eating are extremely important in the fight against food waste, as well as in the context of environmental protection.
