Five Principles of Food Wise at Home

Shopping Smart

Before purchasing ingredients or food, plan the required amount to avoid waste due to over-purchasing. Also buy according to actual needs, avoid falling into the trap of "buy one get one free", because failure to fully consume before the expiry date is another kind of food waste and also a waste of money.

Cooking Well
Use up every part of the ingredients, such as broccoli stems that remove the crude fiber, and then eat; or don’t discard the fruits and vegetables because they are ugly. When boiling the soup, avoid cooking the old hot soup and avoid eating leftover soup residue, because the soup residue has the most nutritious value and avoids food waste!

Storing Carefully

Fresh ingredients are eaten according to the degree of durability. For example, beans are more durable than vegetables and leaves; for packaged foods, the order of eating is determined according to the best eating date. Keep it properly according to the food packaging instructions to reduce the risk of food spoilage due to improper storage. Check the refrigerator and dry food regularly, and eat the ones that are about to expire.

Eating Green

Nowadays, there are more and more vegetarian foods. The only factor is that eating is not only good for the body, but also has a positive effect on the global environment. The habit of having more vegetables and less meat can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and alleviate climate warming.

Sharing with Love

If you have too much food in your home, you should share it with your neighbors as soon as possible, especially those in need, or send the food to the food bank or food recycling organization in the community to make the most of it, reduce waste and help others.

Three directions of Food Wise Campus

Source reduction

The main source of food waste in schools is student lunch boxes. Therefore, the quality of lunch box suppliers, students’ opinions, and the dietary implementation model are the main factors in reducing food waste. Leftovers.
Evaluate the performance of the food business every year, continue to observe, record and compare the annual food waste, and investigate the cause of the food waste.
Collect opinions from students and parents, compare the quality of the test food and the actual lunch box, and strike a balance between nutrition, taste and low carbon, so as to reduce the waste caused by the quality of the lunch box.
It is necessary to consider whether the restaurant has any relevant measures to donate food, such as donating the extra lunch boxes every day to a food recycling agency.
Take appropriate measures, such as on-site meal distribution, meal flow and monitoring, etc., to minimize the amount of leftovers that day.

"Food Wise" for school holiday parties:

Fruits or dry food can be preferred, because cooked food is more prone to spoilage, and it is difficult to donate or take away.
If part of the food is cooked, you need to accurately estimate the amount of food in advance, use serving chopsticks when eating the food, and maintain hygiene. Students are also urged to bring an extra food box to take the remaining food home to reheat before enjoying.

Treatment of leftover food

Dry goods: If there is a certain number of food recycling organizations that can be donated, such as good food ethics; if the number is small, it can be shared with other teachers and students.

Cooked food: It is recommended that schools add kitchen waste machines to convert daily student lunch boxes and kitchen waste into planting fertilizer.

Students grow different vegetables to form an ecological cycle system, which can also become a food education tool.

Food Education

Cultivating the good habit of food wise is held regularly, and the food donation program allows teachers, students and parents to form the habit of regularly checking whether there is too much or about to expire food in the home.

Make good use of kitchen waste machines and other facilities, mobilize teachers and students to learn about the process of food recycling and planting production, experience the hard-won food, and learn to cherish it.

Holding various types of competitions and activities to increase students' interest in food through cooking to allow students to appreciate different ingredients.
