The carbon, water, soil footprints from deforestation for food production, to processing, transport, storage of food products, the use of chemicals to grow food and the effect of these washed into our oceans, plus all the food and packaging waste all contributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start to try to make a change, let alone, a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the current evidence shows that reducing food\u2013related waste going to landfill can far outweigh any other changes you make with your eating so it is a great first place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eat What You Need<\/strong><br>The best way to avoid food waste is to only buy what you and your family needs. This involves a bit of organisation with meal planning, making shopping lists, checking your home food stock, knowing how to care for your food, and cooking most of your meals at home. This will not only save you money, but helps you to be in control of what is in the foods you buy, where these ingredients come from, how much they are processed and portion control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australians consume 30% of their energy intake from discretionary foods, which, in itself, is a huge a waste. A waste of all the resources put into these highly processed and packaged foods as they contain little nutrients and the added fats and sugars, that our bodies do not need, increase our risk for preventable health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eating what you need requires nutrition education on the 5 core food groups and reducing your discretionary food intake. Eating this way has protective effects against heart disease, diabetes and some cancers as well as other chronic diseases.&nbsp;Eating more plant\u2013based foods shows even more benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The core 5 food groups are:<br>Wholegrains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose less processed grains which are also higher in nutrients such protein, B vitamins, and minerals like iron and zinc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The slow\u2013release carbohydrates and fibre also fill you up to avoid excess eating soon after your meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fruit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stick to 2 serves daily, preferably whole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose at least 5 serves (1\u20132 cups) or more daily, preferably whole and less processed\/packaged. A great source of fibre for gut health and fills you up to avoid being hungry soon after eating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><strong>Iron rich protein foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Include 1\u20132 serves of these daily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose free\u2013range organic eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opt for local, organic nuts and seeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore the wide world of legumes such as beans, lentils, chickpeas and tofu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat fish and seafood from sustainable sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce and choose lean meat and poultry with lower carbon and water footprints such as game meats and regenerative\/grass farmed produce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><strong>Calcium rich protein foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Because humans are living longer, to keep our bones strong, it is recommended to include 2\u20133 serves of calcium rich protein foods daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Including dairy foods can be a balancing act when considering the health benefits and environmental impacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relating to environmental impacts goats milk\/cheeses may be a more eco\u2013friendly option than cows milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are many plant based dairy alternatives available which are fortified with calcium however, some can lack protein, so you may need to increase your protein food serves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy milk and soy yoghurts are a great direct dairy substitutes nutritionally, as is fish with brittle bones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also help farmers reduce their food waste as there are now more organisations selling imperfect produce such as Good and Fugly, Funky Food and Harris Farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of local farms with produce at farmer\u2019s markets such as the Gosford City Farmer\u2019s Markets and Reko Ring. And for the most local and organically sourced co\u2013ops on the Central Coast check out Food Integrity Group and The Peninsula Environment Group \u2013 Food Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In The Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other food waste reduction strategies include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Caring for your food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refrigerate food to prolong its life, such as tomatoes, bananas, and bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freeze food to prolong its life, such as citrus, banana, berries, bread, meat, soups or casseroles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not peeling or de\u2013seeding vegetables: Try Jamie Oliver\u2019s rustic mash potatoes, roasting pumpkin seeds, or making zebra stripes to get the kids used to eating a little skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freeze ends, peels, and soon to be expired vegetables, then make vegetable stock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gardening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Re\u2013grow vegetables like bok choy, shallot and celery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compost! Use a regular compost bin, worm farm, bokashi fermenting compost or find someone else\u2019s with the Share Waste app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Small changes can make a big difference.
