A large share of the food produced in the world is never eaten. Much of this waste, surprisingly, occurs not on farms or in factories but in ordinary homes. For example, families buy more vegetables than they can use, and the extra ones go bad in the refrigerator. Bread is thrown away simply because it is a few days old. Leftovers from dinner are forgotten and discarded a week later.
Small changes in daily habits can therefore make a real difference. For instance, checking the refrigerator before shopping prevents people from buying what they already have. Planning meals for the week has a similar effect. In short, the fight against food waste begins in our own kitchens.

世界で生産される食品のかなりの部分は、食べられることがありません。驚くことに、この無駄の多くは農場や工場ではなく、普通の家庭で起きています。例えば、家族は使い切れない量の野菜を買い、余った分は冷蔵庫の中で傷んでしまいます。パンは、ただ数日たったというだけで捨てられます。夕食の残り物は忘れられ、1週間後に捨てられます。だから、日々の習慣の小さな変化が、はっきりした違いを生みます。例えば、買い物の前に冷蔵庫を確かめれば、すでに持っている物を買わずに済みます。1週間分の献立を考えることにも、同じような効果があります。要するに、食品の無駄との戦いは、私たち自身の台所から始まるのです。
