Each year in France, approximately 9.7 million tons of food waste are produced, including 3.8 million tons of still edible food. An absolutely outrageous figure, and one that seems completely crazy when resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and products are getting more and more expensive. So just days before the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, which takes place every year on September 29, head to Communale to stock up on good resolutions and great food!
Loads of clever tips
To avoid food waste, there are plenty of tricks. Managing your shopping better. Knowing how to transform your leftovers smartly. Learning to read recommended consumption dates. Or even better
store your food. All things that might seem obvious, but aren't always easy to put into practice. Fortunately, this weekend, la Communale Saint-Ouen is offering you tricks of all kinds to turn you into a true food-rescue ninja. HopHopFood, a non-profit organization committed to fighting food waste and food insecurity, and the food court are therefore inviting you to a meaningful, delicious, and free day.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
