Food Production

What do you think of when you hear the phrase 'food waste'? It is not only the actual food that is being wasted, it is also all the water, energy and soil that the food soaks up while in the making and on the road. So food production puts high pressure on our habitat, only for around 40% to go to waste. As if that isn't bad enough, the food that was wasted, then gets thrown on landfills where it is left to rot and expel methane, one of the main greenhouse gases driving climate change.Taste Before You Waste is a foundation, based in Amsterdam, with the mission to reduce consumer food waste by providing citizens with the inspiration, knowledge and opportunity for responsible and waste-free consumption. We create a welcoming international community of foodies by hosting donation-based events such as foodcycle markets, wasteless dinners, educational workshops, event caterings and presentations, showcasing that the food that is currently regarded as waste is actually delicious and valuable. By raising awareness and empowering citizens, Taste Before You Waste contributes to a social movement that pushes for a fairer and more sustainable food system.
