Food Waste

Food waste is bad because:

  1. It’s a shame to throw away food if other people are hungry

  2. If you put food in the bin and it goes into the ground it could explode

  3. Food has energy and if we throw it away we are wasting energy

Dylan’s research

Dylan talks to his grandpa, a farmer, about food waste. He finds out what causes food waste, which countries waste the most food and how we can stop food waste.

What can kids do to stop food waste?

  1. Put veg and fruit in the compost bin so it can rot and the worms can turn it into compost for our garden.

  2. Remind adults not to buy too much food otherwise it could be wasted.

  3. Eat all the food on your plate and put any leftovers in the fridge.
