Join us for an engag­ing and prac­ti­cal work­shop on Min­imis­ing & Man­ag­ing Home Food Waste, where you’ll learn sim­ple yet effec­tive strate­gies to reduce food waste in your house­hold. Dis­cov­er smart food waste reduc­tion strate­gies, includ­ing meal plan­ning, prop­er food stor­age, and cre­ative ways to use leftovers.

We’ll also explore dif­fer­ent com­post­ing meth­ods—cold com­post­ing, worm farms, and Bokashi bins—to help you find the best sys­tem for your home. Whether you’re new to com­post­ing or look­ing to refine your approach, this ses­sion will pro­vide insights into what works best for dif­fer­ent lifestyles and spaces.
