How secure is the Northern Rivers food system? Interviews with key Lismore and Byron food stakeholders show compounding disasters threaten food security and calls for rapid transition to a community-driven regional circular food economy #foodsecurity https://t.co/W8wUtssild

Our neighbour recently had a glut of bananas from their tree - dehydrate for lunchboxes...bake some banana carrot muffins and freeze for lunchboxes....chop up the rest into the freezer for smoothies....so many ways to avoid #foodwaste on #stopfoodwasteday and save $$ too!

[End Food Waste Australia @EndFoodWasteAus]

Today is #StopFoodWasteDay, research out of our ENGAGE program shows the most impactful actions we can start taking today for big impact. Top tips: Prepare the right amount of food, leave a leftovers day, & store (and label) food in the freezer can help save up to $2500 a year!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

What we put on our plate doesn't just affect us. We now know food is the third largest source of emissions in New York City, so what we eat is impacting our entire planet.

That's why today I'm announcing that by 2030, the City will reduce our food-related emissions by 33%.

"Local governments are created and empowered by state legislation that does not grant them an explicit mandate to act on food system issues, except for food safety." https://t.co/rtexwuF5z4 #localfood #foodsecurity #greatfoodtransformation

[IPES-Food @IPESfood]

It’s vital to break the vicious cycle of unsustainable #foodsystems, #hunger & #debt. By investing in resilient food & farming & self-reliance, repairing historical injustices, and reforming decision-making on food & debt to put poor countries first.
