  • Plan your meals for the week before you go shopping and buy and only buy the necessary things. 

  • Only buy quality things that are sufficient for a good nutrition


     Technology that will help us reduce the food waste   


     Technology is also helpful in reducing food waste. Some companies like blueapple and wakati are companies that                 develop technology to help us organize our food to avoid having to throw away or have the food rote because it has not         been consumed in time or solving other technology problems that made food rot faster in fridges.


One example is  Bluapple, a company from Woods Cross,who came up with an ingenious solution. They         realised, the reason fruit and vegetables would ripen and eventually rot much quicker when stored together in a fridge            was because they give off Ethylene gas as a signaling mechanism to trigger uniform ripening.


        Another company, Wakati attacks the environmental problems caused by food waste from two different areas. It doesn’t         just prevent the harmful emissions given by rotting food but also cuts down on the need for high energy fridges. Wakati            gets this results through the first solution for the preservation of fruit and vegetables without the need for cooling. 



        In conclusion these are some of the most useful things and techniques that will help you reduce the food waste, and if            everyone uses this trips we will be able to reduce the food waste considerably fast, this may not be the final solution to            all the food problems but is definitely a good start
