What can we do???

• Raise awareness among food industries, retailers and consumers
• Reform quality standards to accept food items not quite perfect in shape or appearance
• Educate, so that no consumers, anywhere, feel they can afford to waste food
• Find good and beneficial uses for safe food that is presently thrown away

It might not sound like much, but even small steps add up! Let’s get going!
