Aquí hay algunas prácticas fáciles que puede implementar para ayudar a reducir eldesperdicio de alimentos durante todo el año.Compre Inteligentemente: Planifique las comidas usando listas y evitando las compras impulsivas.Diga “Si” a Frutas y Verduras Feas: A menudo llamadas “feas”, las frutas y verduras de aspecto imperfecto se pasan por alto en las tiendas, lo que hace que se desperdicien productos deliciosos y nutritivos. En cambio, ¡cómprelos!Practique Primero en Entrar, Primero en Salir: Al desempacar alimentos, mueva los productos más antiguos al frente y coloque los artículos más nuevos en la parte posterior del refrigerador / congelador / despensa.

¡Recuerde llevar su bolsa reutilizable cuando vaya de compras!
