Overview
The Waste Not website was developed as a tool to help households reduce their food waste, therefore, focusing on food waste prevention. The website includes short actionable tips, videos, and interactive resources on each of the following food waste topic areas:
– Planning
– Shopping
– Storage
– Expiration dates
– Cooking
– Plate waste
– Leftovers
To get the most use out of the site, we recommend first taking an assessment of your current food waste habits. The assessment will help you determine which areas of food waste you’re doing well in, as well as where you could use the most improvement.
We also encourage you to review the “Why Reduce Food Waste” page to learn about the importance of reducing food waste and visit the Resources Library for additional resources on preventing food waste.
