-28% of the worlds agricultural land grows crops that are wasted  and the water that is wasted growing these crops are massive amounts 

-More people = Fewer resources  , therefore must do something about wastage 

-Food producers must invest in better harvest and storage technology to eliminate and avoid food loss.

-Human consumption should be reused in order to feed animals 

-Shoppers should use better methods to store and recycle 
-Food wastage pyramid is based on the  garbage policy makers , they can enhance  the ability of retailers + producers and consumers to turn around the pyramid 

-Pyramid (Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – Landfill)

-Launch campaigns in order to inspire consumers

-Resources used to produce food will end up as meals for he worlds population – making use , instead of garbage in landfill

Families that cook

Motivators: reduce food waste, save money 

Main concerns: minimize food waste, minimize hunger.

To end hunger, achieve food security and mainly minimize food waste 

Extreme hunger and malnutrition remains a barrier to sustainable development and creates a trap from which people cannot easily escape. Food waste means that food is discarded or lost un eaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous and occur at the stages of processing, producing, retailing and consuming. A study conducted showed that there are nearly 800 million people who suffer from hunger worldwide, the vast majority in developing countries. Therfore, we are tackling the idea of food waste in egypt

 

- The campaign reflects the active collaboration between the Egyptian Food Bank and FAO, and highlights the valuable contribution provided by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation to enable the creation of successful models to reduce food loss and waste throughout Egypt as mean to combat hunger and poverty.

- Egypt is facing a growing challenge given the increase in its population in a context of limited capacity to expand its nature resources.

- The project of "Food Loss and Waste Reduction and Value Chain Development for Food Security in Egypt and Tunisia" is implemented by FAO in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, and funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation. 

- Minimizing food waste is paramount to food security, but also to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the degradation of water and soil resources, which are increasingly scarce in Egypt.

-1/3 of global food production for human consumption is wasted and lost

-Industrial countries = 40% of food loss happen in retail and consumers level

-Food is thrown away by consumer, destroyed in transport or not bought from supermarket

-Utilization + food use + access must be improved globally

-Cutting food waste and loss = Improved climate change = reduced poverty = reduced hunger

-Safe food that is lost can feed around 2 billion people

-If we save one fourth of the food we can be able to feed 870 million hungry people

-8% of green house gas emission is from food loss and waste

-Almost 30% of the worlds agricultural land is used to produce food that is never consumed

-If food distribution and use is managed = 14% of GHG emissions from agriculture could be avoided by 2050.

-Shop local, best before date doesn’t mean throw away .

-Food loss and waste also amount to a major problem of resources ( Water, land, energy and labor capital)

-The Toolkit, provides behavior change and outreach tools designed to assist individuals and households to implement strategies to reduce wasted food in their homes

-Too Good to Waste campaign provides the tools in the Toolkit to families and individuals to help them keep food out of landfills and more money in their pockets.

-Food truly is too good to waste.

-A FTGTW campaign aims to address the needs of a community by using CBSM principles and should be designed with the following principles in mind: 

. Remove or minimize barriers to preferred behaviors and emphasize benefits:

. Focus on target populations

. Engage at the community level

. Emphasize personal contact

. Create feedback:

 

-The FTGTW Toolkit identifies five behavior changes that have significant potential to reduce wasted food in households, identifies strategies to achieve these behavior changes, and provides tools based on the strategies to help people make the behavioral changes

- Preventable wasted food is food grown or purchased (and prepared or not) but not eaten because it is spoiled or not needed, and then thrown away.

-Non-edible wasted food includes items such as egg shells, bones, fruit pits, and non-edible§ peels - food parts that are typically discarded during food preparation or consumption

-Shop With Meals in Mind tool provides an easy-to-use template for making shopping lists that prevent food from being wasted.

- Prep Now, Eat Later tool provides consumers helpful tips on preparing perishable foods soon after shopping

 

- Food waste is part of food loss and refers to discarding or alternative (non-food) use of safe and nutritious food for human consumption all along food supply chains

- Each year, an estimated one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted worldwide

-The G20 Platform will enhance our capacity to accurately measure and reduce food loss and waste, both in the G20 countries and in low-income countries" 

- We asked her how often do you do grocery shopping, do you cook, do you do a list before going grocery shopping, and whether she buys extra food just in case ?

- The lady told us that she goes grocery shopping once a week and that she cooks for her family ( 5P ) everyday. 
- She said that she doesn’t use a list or anything like that, instead, she tries to remember what is missing and what she might need to make different types of food for the following week, ending up getting a lot more stuff than she really needs. 
- So eventually, some food expires at home even before using it. 

In the 2nd interview, we interviewed a mother in a huge family gathering at her house, where she cooked for them all :

- We asked her if she knows who likes what types of food and who doesn’t, who has allergies from what, and if she cooks an amount suitable for the number of people eating or cook or a lot more ?
- Finally, we asked her what she does with the extra food ?

- She said she doesn’t know who like what and who is allergic to what type of food. 
- She just cooks food she think its delicious in an amount that must be more than that is suitable for the number of people in the gathering. 
- She said “ Who doesn’t end up throwing about 1/4 of the food."
