Tips and tricks to save food at Home:

1. Use all parts of veggies and fruits: One of the most efficient ways of reducing food waste at home is to try and use all components of the fruits or vegetables.

2. Grow herbs at home: Instead of the rest of the rosemary or any other herbs ending up in the bin, Suchde suggests drying them out and bottling them for future use. Better yet, grow some of the more usually-used herbs at home itself.

3. Repurpose leftovers: if you don't want to have the dish in the same form the next day, there are many ways of repurposing it. Like you can turn it into a soup.

4. Eat seasonally: There's a science behind eating what's in season, says Suchde, adding that if nature is providing you with certain products at a given time, it's because your body needs that kind of nutrition at that time of the year. Since the food hasn't traveled too many miles or been in cold storage, it's loaded with flavor and nutrition. It's good for the environment too since all that travel and storage would have meant more greenhouse gas emissions.

5. Buy only as much as you need: Making a weekly list of the meals and planning your shopping around it is one of the easiest ways to ensure that less food is wasted.

6. Pickle it, preserve it: But there's only that much you can eat! That's when simple preservation methods like pickling and making jams or preserves come in handy.
By managing food sustainably and diminishing waste, we can help enterprises and consumers save money, provide a bridge in our communities for those who do not have enough to eat and conserve resources for future generations.
