Share your questions, thoughts or your own stories about what you do to reduce food waste in your work.
The food waste podcast episode can be found at: https://anchor.fm/icda-sfs-coordinator/episodes/Episode-1—Food-Waste-eveuhj/a-a5b4nsa
Here is the introduction to the episode:
Food loss and waste amount to a major use of resources and it produces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming and climate change. In high income countries more food is wasted in our homes than any other part of the supply chain.
Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 captures a commitment to halve food waste at the retail and consumer level. Behind the challenge lies a huge opportunity for dietitians and nutritionists to not only reduce waste in operations where food is served and to also to make it harder for consumers to waste food – through education and through changing the environment in which food is consumed.
In this podcast we speak with two dietitians who share their diverse approach and experience in combatting this topic.
— Margaretha af Trolle from Sweden who works with an organization that provides nutritious and varied food to preschools, schools, hospitals and nursing homes.
— Rebecca Tran a dietitian from Canada who has created innovative solutions through her business The Station Food Hub

There is a new resource in this SFS Toolkit from Nathan Cook out of Monash University: A systematic review of food waste audit methods in hospital foodservices: development of a consensus pathway food waste audit tool (2022 Mar) To understand, monitor and compare the scope of food waste in hospital foodservices, it is essential to measure food waste using a standardised method. This review used published evidence to develop the first ever food waste audit consensus tool for hospital foodservices to use and measure food and food-related waste.
Do you have a tool you use to measure food waste in your nutrition practice wherever you may be and whatever it is you do?
Would you be willing to use the one Nathan and his team developed?
