CONTEXT
For most people it is difficult to reduce foodwaste and that’s why I want to help here. Households are the biggest contributor to food waste. 43% of waste comes from the homes. Thats why I have decided to analyse wastage in households.
PROBLEMATIC
6.6 million tonnes of food are thrown away from households. The relevance lies in the need to reduce food waste and promote a sustainable food culture. How can we find simple solutions to minimise these sources of food waste?
RESEARCH
Students and Foodwaste

CHOSEN STRATEGY
How can we make it as easy as possible for a student to use leftovers and create a meal plan?
