Plan ahead

Once a week, take some time to plan what you will be eating in the following seven days, and only buy the ingredients you need

Buy wisely

Buy a small quantity of food, so you can easily store and manage it. Consider buying fresh and local

Keep clean your refrigerator and freezer

This practice will extend the lifetime of your appliances and prevent food spoilage. It will also avoid excessive energy consumption

Adopt suitable precautions when stocking and conserving food, with special regard to fresh products

 

Be creative with food

Do not throw leftovers away, but use them to create a new meal

Use food ingredients entirely

All edible parts of food can be recipe ingredients. Be a champion of “nose-to-tail” and “root-to-leaf eating” ¹⁰
