The Local Food Recovery System

This image illustrates the local food recovery system, highlighting key stages from farm to table and beyond. At each step in the cycle, from harvesting on farms, transporting and storing food, preparing meals in kitchens, to eventual consumption and composting, there are critical opportunities to reduce food loss and waste. Whether it’s minimizing surplus at the farm, improving storage to prevent spoilage, using creative meal preparation techniques to reduce scraps, or ensuring leftovers are properly managed, small actions at each stage can make a big impact. By recognizing and addressing these points, we can create a more efficient, sustainable food system that nourishes communities while reducing environmental impact.
