🥕Food waste has recently become a more widely talked about issue, especially with new waves of zero waste and food champions. One third of all food produced globally is wasted, the truth is a lot of people (us Canadian's too!) are throwing out more food than they realize - food that could at one point could have be eaten.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍓We know that not all food waste is avoidable, food that can't be eaten such as bones, egg shells, etc. But too often we waste food that could have been used because we buy too much, don't store it properly or cook too much. According to the 2017 National Zero Waste Council the average Canadian household wastes 140kgs of food per year (that amounts to roughly $1,100!). For Canadians as a whole food waste amounts to a whopping $17 billion or 2.2 million tonnes! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🥬This amount of waste has a significant toll on our environment, 2.2 million tonnes of food waste, when considering all the labour and travel it takes for food to go from farm to table is equivalent to 9.8 million tonnes of CO2 (or 2.1 million cars on the road!).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🥒We can start making changes by buying local to reduce our food miles. Supporting local means we can also ensure none of the food our local producers grow is wasted! We can also reduce waste by planning meals, using up extras, freezing food and learning ways to keep food the freshest for longer. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍅The best thing is that all these tips can be learned from your local farmer, (or even from farmers' markets who post helpful info all the time) they often know great ways to use all parts of the fruit, veg or meat and the best was to store it! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍞Make sure to write up a delicious list of local food and treats for tomorrow's Market, and if you can't make it you can still enjoy splendid local goods on @wfm2go, ordering closes Monday at 7pm!
We fell in love with these little pop up cards of the market last night at Book Arts (from @bardbardbard)! But we hope that everyone enjoyed all the talented artists, authors and publishers we have around our community! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A big thank you also goes to @deephollowprint for making all of the wonderful participant posters and social media graphics!⁣ Thank you to everyone for making such a lovely and bustling Wednesday Market! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #wolfvillefarmersmarket #farmersmarket #buylocal #supportlocal #marketfreshns #doitinwolfville #canadianpublishers #NSauthors
