Hey there! Did you know that a lot of food gets wasted around the world every day? Well, China is doing something awesome to help fix that! 🇨🇳✨
What’s the Plan? 🤔
China announced a new action plan to reduce food loss and waste by the end of 2027. That means from the farm 🧑🌾 to your plate 🍽️, less food will end up in the trash!
Goals by 2027 🎯
- Reduce food loss during growing, storing, moving, and processing to below the world’s average levels.
- Cut down on food wasted in restaurants, school cafeterias, and workplaces.
- Encourage everyone to be mindful about saving food.
Why Does It Matter? 🌎
In 2022, the world wasted over 1 billion tons of food! 😱 That’s like throwing away almost one-fifth of all the food available to people. Wasting food also wastes all the water and energy used to produce it.
Global Goals 🌐
China’s efforts help the world get closer to the United Nations’ goal of cutting global food waste in half by 2030. Together, we can make a big difference!
How Can You Help? 🙌
You can make a change too! Here are some ideas:
- Only put on your plate what you can eat.
- Save leftovers for later. 🍱
- Get creative with recipes to use up all your food.
- Support places that donate extra food to those in need.
Let’s all do our part to save food and protect our planet! 🌟💚
