There are some people who cook many layers and throw the excess food in the trash, but they don't feel like it's a normal thing. Today I will give you some suggested solutions. Cooking should be based on the number of family or people.  Those who are present, if there is food left that must be eaten after that or given to the poor, or prepare a new dish from the remaining food, and thank you but for reading.]]> 2022-03-07 08:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081188317 Shaikha Ahmed 2/6 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081188967 Solving the food waste problem in Ramadan.

Here are some suggestions for reducing food waste during the holy month of Ramadan. First and foremost, we could make a meal plan; a meal plan can assist us in making the most of the ingredients we already have on hand. Second, we could share or donate leftover food; if we have any overcooked or leftover food, we could consider sharing it with friends and neighbors. Third, we can refrigerate, which means we can store and preserve some foods in the refrigerator or freezer by keeping them cool and preventing them from spoiling.]]> 2022-03-07 08:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081188967 Thkra Asaad 2/5 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081189777 The trend shows that during Ramadan, the demand for beef, mutton, chicken and related meat products increases by almost 50% of the normal demand, which in itself is very high. Similar is the fate of other related food items like vegetables, fruits and dairy products etc. which are out of shelves quickly in the super markets and cold stores during special religious occasions.
 The enormous food waste generation can be witnessed at all socio-economic levels. It is environmentally and morally considered offensive that as a society we have become so casual about the basic raw materials of life. Over the period of years, the society and people have become more wasteful due to rise in income, living standards, consumerism and affordability. But affording does not mean that wastage should increase as it is contrary to the Islamic principles of sustainability.During Ramadan, people tend to buy more than their normal requirements for self consumption plus for taking care of guests. Due to the limited quantity of food to be consumed by people this additional quantity of cooked or made food becomes waste as Fatoor is not usually eaten as midnight snacks or as sahoor the other day. The demand for fresh food increases as majority of people are willing to spend an extra amount for the better quality of food.
 The rich also sympathize greatly in this month and donate more food for charity which at times is not consumed by the poor section of the society due to late delivery and evening prayers. This trend again leads to more wastage, as the food items bought are not being fully and efficiently utilized and ultimately end up in garbage bins.]]> 2022-03-07 08:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081189777 Ragad Nasser Ahmed 2/5 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081195304 In Ramadan, there is a big problem, which is the problem of wasting food, because most people cook a lot of food, but they do not eat it whole, but rather throw it away, and this is a big problem.We must cook in medium quantities, and if there is food left, we give it to those in need]]> 2022-03-07 08:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081195304 Khulood esam bubshait 2/5 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081195415
Wasting food is a problem because it is not good for our religion, so I will write some suggestions to solve this problem that happened in school. First of all, we can offer the students smaller portions of food, so that they can finish their food on time.  Second, we can also help people who need it.  And third, they can take the rest of the food and go home, which means if they are full they can eat it later.]]> 2022-03-07 08:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081195415 Reem Raed Qaed 2-5💗 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081198525 Hello, I came to talk about wasting food in the month of Ramadan. There are many people who waste food after breakfast, and this causes food tampering in a holy and blessed month.
I want to make some tips that we will benefit from. The first is not to waste food after breakfast, we take it to the kitchen until the time of Suhoor, and secondly, if there is a lot of food that we can donate, and this is a very beautiful thing that we donated food in the month of Ramadan, and this is a blessed month for God, Glory be to Him.

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;  Because 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 a list of purchases and adhere to them.  This step not only reduces the amount 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 purchase.

 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 avoiding 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.]]> 2022-03-07 08:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081204444 Muna hezam https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081207555 We suffer a lot from the problem of food wastage in the holy month of Ramadan. Here are some solutions to the problem of food waste, we can share or donate the rest of the food if there is more food than we need, and we can also refrigerate it, which means we can store and keep some food in the fridge or freezer by keeping it cold and preventing it from spoiling]]> 2022-03-07 08:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081207555 ربى حامد https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081214249 1. Make a list of the things you need

 Planning the meals you plan to prepare at the beginning of the week will help make sure you're eating all the food in the fridge, so plan your meals and prepare a list of things you need before you go shopping.

 2. Make sure to buy only what you need

 While bulk shopping can be both cost and time efficient, it is not certain that you will use everything you will buy and you will end up throwing away not only food, but your money as well.

 3. Store food properly

 This is the first and essential step in reducing food waste at home. Properly storing food in the refrigerator and in appropriate containers and jars will help you keep food fresh and ensure it does not rot.

 4. Always use the freezer

 The freezer is one of the best ways to eliminate food waste, as you can put leftovers in storage boxes and keep them until you use them again.

 5. Reuse leftovers

 Use leftover tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes or carrots to make a delicious vegetable soup, or use the electric juicer to make a refreshing family drink from leftover fruit.]]> 2022-03-07 08:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081214249 Rawan Abdulsalam 2/6 https://padlet.com/nrmeenali7890/saj9df973p4uf7zg/wish/2081215995
Highlights
Consider doing your weekly shop after breaking your fast or early in the day shortly after your fast begins so you're less likely to impulse buy 
 Tags: Food waste
Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, where Muslims observe a strict fast from sunrise to sundown. While it is a time of moderation and reflection, fasting can unintentionally lead to food waste when over catering for family events and restaurants.
For councils, food waste is a particularly weighty subject. Food waste tends to be especially heavy because of the water content and overfilled general waste bins can break when being lifted. Not only is a broken bin inconvenient, it can lead to unpleasant food, liquids and rubbish spilled all over the street.
Coupled with the fact that organic material is highly recyclable, it makes good environmental and economic sense to recycle unavoidable food waste or better yet, avoid wastage in the first place.
Here are our top tips to prevent and minimise food waste during Ramadan:
Prepare a meal plan
A meal plan can help you make full use of the ingredients you already have at home and set the stage for overall healthier break fast meals. It can also cut down on the impulse to overspend and buy more than what you need, indirectly reducing the waste from excess packaging.
Bonus tip: Include leftovers from your dinners the night before in your meal plan so you don’t need to rush to prepare the morning meal.
No shopping on an empty stomach
Research has shown that shopping when hungry can lead to impulse purchases. Instead, consider doing your weekly shop after breaking your fast or early in the day shortly after your fast begins so you’re less likely to impulse buy (and overspend!).
Bonus tip: Choose foods with longer shelf life whenever possible to reduce the risk of food going bad before you’ve had a chance to cook.
Share or donate leftover food
If you have overcooked or found yourself with a lot of leftover food, consider sharing them with friends and neighbours. You can also check with your local mosque to see if they will accept extra food for the sunset break fast session.
Bonus tip: Contact food rescue charities and local shelters to see if you can donate your excess meals to those in need or get creative with leftover food and use them in your next meal.
Compost leftover food
If you do not have access to food organics bin in your area, consider turning your food waste into compost, especially if you have a garden. Check out our guide to creating compost at home.
Operating a restaurant, canteen or grocery?
During Ramadan, restaurants, canteens and hotels might offer break fast packages with multiple-course meals. This format tends to lead to people ordering too much food that they cannot finish. Anticipating demand can also be a tricky affair, with food and beverage operators often resorting to ‘playing it by ear’ when it comes to menu prep.
If waste is unavoidable, businesses can contact us for a commercial recycling service where organic material is turned into high quality compost and soil conditioners or electricity to power homes. It may even reduce the cost of your general waste service! Speak to our experts by letting us know your details here (for commercial/business customers only).
Cleanaway would like to wish all our Muslim friends a blessed Ramadan.
