Kuwait Food Authority urges greater awareness to reduce food waste
The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition has called for greater public awareness and responsible consumption to reduce food loss and waste, stressing that food conservation is a shared responsibility.
Acting Director General Abeer Al-Ramah made the remarks during an awareness event at The Avenues Mall on Tuesday to mark the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, observed annually on September 29.
Al-Ramah said reducing food waste can begin with simple daily practices, including buying appropriate quantities, storing food properly and making use of leftovers instead of throwing them away.
She noted that food passes through several stages and requires significant effort and resources before reaching consumers, making its preservation part of responsible consumption.
Al-Ramah urged the public to help promote a culture of reducing food waste, saying that conserving food also supports the protection of national resources and sustainability.
