We celebrate the World Day against Food Waste

On September 29 , the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste is celebrated, and from Fundesplai we have discussed this issue with children in the educational time of noon.

Throughout the week, activities have been carried out in more than a hundred schools in the territory to raise awareness about the need to reduce food that spoils or is thrown away. It is a topic that we already worked on in previous courses through the educational proposal Eating changes the world, but that we want to maintain in a transversal way in our activities.

In the esplais educational time periods we carried out the audits to be able to make a self-diagnosis about food waste. In this case, children separate and weigh the food that is thrown away in order to become aware of the volume of waste.

This year, in addition, we have published two recipe books with recipes from our school kitchens and also proposed by the children of the schools and esplais where we are present. You can find many easy, healthy, sustainable and attractive recipes for children.

In addition, the children did other activities such as gymkhanas, crafts or board games with the aim of understanding and becoming aware of the impact of food waste and how it can be changed through our daily actions.
