PATA raises awareness of food waste
Starts BUFFET initiative
This is something everyone can do.
Hunger is still one of the most urgent development challenges, yet the world is producing more than enough food. International organizations, the private sector and civil society can all enable food systems to reduce food loss and waste in both the developing and the industrialized world.
And now so can the tourism industry
After the United Nation’s International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development initiative and following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), PATA, Scholars of Sustenance Thailand and Futouris, have launched the BUFFET Campaign to raise awareness of food waste in our industry to drive positive change.
The website aims to provide tourism industry members with more information and resources about reducing food waste within their organisations.
Although this work is geared towards the hospitality sector, it can also be relevant towards other tourism sectors that have food and beverage operations.
Says the FAO Up to one third of all food is spoiled or squandered before it is consumed by people.
It is an excess in an age where almost a billion people go hungry, and represents a waste of the labour, water, energy, land and other inputs that went into producing that food.
