About this Webinar:
The United States is, unfortunately, the leader of food waste in the world. According to the USDA, they estimate that about 133 billion pounds of food was wasted in 2010 at the retail and consumer level.
This webinar examines the problem of food waste and how we as consumers can safely reduce the amount of food waste in our homes. One of the biggest contributors to food waste is produce and as such, this webinar provides insight into how to properly handle, store and increase the shelf life of food in the home.
Learning Objectives:
The participants will be able to:
- Describe the problem of food waste
- Explain the steps consumers can take to reduce food waste, while still maintaining food safety
- Apply best practices for consumer handling of fresh produce for safety, quality, and increased shelf life
