Good Idea | How can we contribute to cut global food waste?

2021-02-25 TEDxGuangzhou

In 1997, Josh Slotnich co-founded Peas Farm that now grows thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables for low-income families in Missoula. Sharing his experience in building community farms with local residents in Missoula, he discovered community farming is not only about food security, but also has the power to change people’s relationship with the landscape - people feel more connected and more in control of the lands beneath them.

If you are thinking about reducing the food waste in your household, reading Bae Johnson's Zero Waste Home: TheUltimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life would be a helpful start. As the founder of the zero waste movement, Bae and her family only produced a pint of trash every year since 2008. Her methodology is based on five concepts — 「Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot and only in that order」.

- Refuse: Say no to what you don’t need

- Reduce: Focus on necessary purchases

- Reuse: Get your things a second life

- Recycle: Don’t throw away broken items immediately. Find ways to recycle them after following the previous steps.

- Rot: composite your own household waste
