鈥湴拿帕喜世芳锹 is committed to raising awareness in our community about how everyone can do their part to reduce food waste,鈥 said , Ph.D., associate chair and professor in 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering. 鈥淩ecognizing the potential each of us has to personally affect how much food goes unused, I support Food Waste Prevention Week and will take actions to reduce food waste in my home, workplace and community.鈥
All Floridians benefit from better utilizing food resources. Food waste reduction begins at home since up to 40 percent of all food waste occurs in the household. Beyond consumer level behavior changes, Food Waste Prevention Week prompts Floridians to also consider how food is wasted at their workplaces, communities and recreational destinations. Food Waste Prevention Week challenges both organizations and residents throughout the state to become Food Waste Reduction Heroes.
