  • Did you know there’s a Farmers Market at @uofpenn every Wednesday from 10 am to 5pm on the corner of 36th and Walnut (right outside the bookstore)? We just happened to stumble across it yesterday. There was produce, succulents and more. The cool part is that students can use their dining plan dollars to make purchases. Check out @pennsustainability for more details.

  • Do you pay attention to where your food comes from? We love this tip Pia Bonke of HSEQ shared with @Stop_Food_Waste_Day on small changes people can make in their daily lives to make a big difference regarding food waste. Make the effort and take a bit more time for groceries; for one, deliberately question the origin, quality and value of the foods, then enjoy them. Something that is known and truly appreciated won’t be wasted so easily. For those where this ends up causing too much stress in everyday family or occupational life while shopping, they can start off with meat products, for example, by paying attention to where they come from.⠀

  • Who hasn't made the mistake of going grocery shopping when they're hungry? That's why we love Maen Mahfoud's answer to the @stop_food_waste_day question, What is one small change every person can make in their daily lives to make a big difference? Order less. I believe the best way to impact food waste at the personal level is to train your mind to order less food or trick your brain not to order or shop for more food than necessary. One way to do this is not to go to the supermarket when you are hungry. We tend to order way more when we are hungry at that instant. If you are already at the supermarket and hungry, then grab a (healthy) snack from the shelf immediately.Maen Mahfoud is the founder and CEO of @replateyourmeal a new platform that matches surplus food from businesses with communities in need. ⠀

  • We're big fans of the @stop_food_waste_day blog where they interview influential food leaders on ways to eliminate food waste. We particularly love the answers to the question, What is one small change every person can make in their daily lives to make a big difference? Here is the answer of Andy Twells, Compass Group Regional Culinary Director - Hong Kong, We are all busy so we tend to shop for the week or the month--even for fresh short shelf-life products. This is guess-work and leads to over-purchase and, by default, waste. Take a breath look at what you are buying and start to buy fresh ideally twice a week. Make the effort to plan.
