While throwing away food, a few of us think about the people who are hungry. This attitude towards food leads to the fact that one-third of all food products produced worldwide are simply thrown away. This is about 222,000,000 tons of products per year and only in developed countries. At the same time, about 800,000,000 people are suffering from hunger and 3,000,000 children a year are dying from problems related to malnutrition. What can be changed? Reducing food waste is one of the first solutions. Each of us can start with this.

A few tips:
1. Do not go to grocery stores hungry.
2. Do not buy a large package of the product, before you try it.
3. Do not buy in large quantities quickly deteriorating products.
4. Make a list of the necessary products before going to the store.
5. Make a list of products that are thrown out most often and reduce their purchase.
6. Store products under recommended conditions.
7. Make your plan for reducing food waste.

All this will save money that can be donated to the needy, and mission Friend will help you in this.
