Today, we show you the steps that will avoid wasting food during the holy month of Ramadan:

1. Preparing food in appropriate quantities: If the number of people at the dining table is six, the quantities of food served on the table should not exceed their needs.

2. Purchasing locally produced food; importing food and transporting it across countries causes the chances of it spoiling quickly through global transportation.

3. Plan meals by keeping the necessary items in one place such as the food cupboard and the refrigerator; It is easy to prepare and adhere to the purchase list. This step not only reduces the number of leftovers but also saves time and money.

4. Be sure to know the expiration dates of foodstuffs by paying attention to reading the “production date” and the “expiration period” date.

5. Make a list of purchases before you go shopping, and avoid shopping when you are hungry; Because this case leads to random purchases.

6. Take advantage of food leftovers by browsing the Internet and searching for new ideas to deal with excess food leftovers to prepare distinctive and delicious dishes.

7. Use the purchased product to the maximum extent possible by specifying the types of food that can be frozen, stored, or dried, which contributes to avoiding food waste.

8. Avoid filling the plate of food: At parties or gatherings, avoid overfilling your plate when choosing food from the open buffet, and thus avoid food waste.

9. Providing surplus food to people in need instead of throwing it in the garbage, while making sure that the food is safe and sound before donating it.

 Here I will give some of the suggested solutions to this issue. First of all I think that the family should do a calculation of their need of food so they can cook a suitable quantity, secondly if there are extra food they can keep it for the next day, one more solution that the family can wright their daily need and prepare it Ruther than cooking with out any estimated calculation of the food quantity. 

To conclude , family should prepare their average need of food with out any extra wasted food, they should reduce the amount of food because it’s a source of energy, and wasting of food is so bad to our community and its against our cultures and religion.
